    Oh, shut the hell up. You damn well that kidnapping college students off the streets to send them to prison labor camps is SEVERAL STEPS beyond anything that happened in the past.

    For real, fuck off. Do something productive. Be better.

    And also, be less of a pathetic liar. Obama did not invent the phrase “enemy combatant”. I was there when GWB used it every damn day.

      I am honestly this close to believing that a bunch of online Marxist-Leninists are actually MAGA operatives seeking to normalize Trump’s actions. I just don’t see what a real leftist movement has to gain from trying to convince us things are business as usual when they so clearly aren’t.

      prison labor camps is SEVERAL STEPS

      This happened regularly, and was reported on, during the War on Terror. Teens and the elderly were likewise kidnapped.

      The difference is there wasn’t a camera on every corner.

      Do some introspection here, and maybe, I dunno, read a history book.
