Wait Lemmy told me all the Democrats wanted to supercharge ICE and are actually worse than the Magats, how did this come to be??
I recognize the hyperbole, but have you really seen that here? I've seen criticism of going along with funding or suggesting finding body cameras, and a failing of consistent messaging of condemnation, but I haven't seen claims that Democrats are worse on ICE than red hats are. Is that a thing you're really seeing?
Hyperbole, but everytime a bill passes R:220 D:3, Lemmy's filled with with headlines and comments going "SEE DEMS ARE JUST AS BAD, BLUE MAGA"
It's eye-rollingly common
Thats because Democrats always ensure just enough members cross the aisle in order to pass these bills and then throw up their hands like "what are ya gonna do?" as if it weren't coordinated the entire time.
This is exactly what I'm talking about, Republicans need exactly 0 Dems to pass anything, and if 2 chumps in Texas cross the line, the people who sat out the last election cry "rigged". Exhausting
House Republicans at this current moment may be able to pass things without Dem support but not Senate Republicans and not either chamber in years past. You seem to think this is some new development and not something we've been witnessing for years and years. At least in years past they'd cross over to pass shit like tax breaks or the PATRIOT Act, but now they're crossing over to fund Nazi death squads in the streets of the US and every other fascist bullshit the president wants.
They're supposed to be the opposition party, but more and more people are waking up to the fact that they're really just controlled opposition, and their sole purpose is to give the illusion of legitimacy to an illegitimate system.
Lemmy told you that? You get your Lemmy through Temu?
