    Imagine making a whole account just to poop on people leveraging the only power they have.

    They have lots more power, they just won’t use it.

    And yet Obama didn't need to send masked goons to occupy entire cities to do that because he isn't a blithering moron.

    Ever stop to think that if the media, opposing party, regular citizens, and even voters in the same party, are all calling these actions facist that maybe...JUST MAYBE..... Its because it reeks of facist ideology and anyone that has studied history during the 1930s+40s know what it looks and sounds like? If everyone is screaming the same fucking thing, MAYBE ITS TIME TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND.

    A fascist regime doesn’t mean I don’t have internet- especially in its early stages.

    What would change your mind? When they start calling into question your constitutional rights? When the cancel elections? Anything else?

    Obama wasn't in the habit of having unidentified, masked federal agents breaking into citizen's house without warrants, then keeping them in concentration camps, where they die or maybe get arbitrarily deported. People aren't complaining about illegal immigrants getting deported. It's the weaponization if the federal government against citizens and the lack of due process, which is afforded to all individuals regardless of how they ended up in the US.

    Your numbers are a strawman argument commonly used by people that don't know what they're talking about or are maliciously arguing in bad faith. Your lack of critical thinking leaves both options up for debate.

    3 million over eight years, versus 1.7 million over one year. If Trump doesn't choke on a Big Mac, and keeps this up for 4 years, that would be over 13.5 million.

    Didn't they say they were aiming for 100M deported?

    His number kept changing as they always do with him. I heard 10 then 11 then 21 million, but never 100 million. I could be wrong.

    And yet most conservatives think Republicans are better at handling immigration? I think the issue has never been about legal vs illegal immigration, it's about certain people enjoying to see pain inflicted on people who look different to them. Cruelty is the point.

    80% of which were just turning people round at the border

    He wasnt sending ICE into court houses to deport people who were following the legal process for claiming asylum

    He wasnt sending ICE into neighbourhoods snatching people off the street because of the colour of their skin or the accent they spoke

    And when you compare the rates of deportations he won't have gotten anywhere near what Trumps illegal actions have achieved

    Dunno how the strike went because it was damn cold (-15 with -40 windchill apparently) and it'll be hard to figure out the economic impacts because of it, but the crowd at the march was wild. There were so many people I couldn't begin to estimate but it was tens of thousands out today.
