      Yeah the downvotes you’re getting really illustrate the three monkeys approach of centrists. Outright denial not only of opinions, but objective facts. Trump immigration policy is just Biden’s turned up a notch, but with a lot of performative cruelty thrown in. Biden’s immigration policy is just Trump’s turned down a notch, with less performative cruelty. Trump vice signals, Biden virtue signaled. But their actual policies on immigration are very very similar.

        So what you’re saying is it’s not just Biden’s turned up a notch, he’s doing it differently and much, much worse. The idea that, because both of them are immigration policies that include deportation, they must be the same thing is infantile

        One of them is in favor of deporting all of the Latinos, but really it’s the same policy lmao

                  You have no red lines. You would vote for Hitler if he was running against someone 1% worse. Again, your moral compass is broken.

                    Define “red line” for me. It really seems like you think that less suffering and more suffering are morally equivalent, which indicates a defective moral compass incapable of understanding magnitude. Either that, or you have a defective moral compass that allows you to extricate yourself from moral dilemmas by saying that, because you can’t pick the option you wish you had, you’re somehow justified in not picking the best available option.

                    In your little Hitler analogy, you think it’s morally superior to let 60,000 more Jews die just to say “well, I’d prefer if we didn’t kill any,” and you’re saying I have a broken moral compass. Please tell me if I’m wrong. I would genuinely prefer to know that you understand that it is a worse thing when more people die

        JFC deporting people if their asylum claim fails isn’t the same as what trump is doing. That you’re trying to equate them is mind bogglingly bad. Anything to confuse the issue and say b b both sides same, huh. I recognize your name so I’m not going to reply further.
