the cages were built by Obama. biden used them. don't delude yourself.
Are you referring to that ICE had Detention facilities before Trump? Of course they did, but did Obama and Biden pack them so full of people that the conditions were near as bad? Not to mention ”Alligator Alcatraz” which is a clear escalation and seems very designed to be cruel.
What do you mean "of course they did"!? How is that not insane? How is that simply acceptable? Deportation is a civil process, there is absolutely no excuse for using armed goons to kidnap people at gunpoint and put them in concentration camps until their civil, non-criminal proceedings can be handled. That is fucking insane.
And YES Obama and biden packed them full. At the end of trump 1 there were 14k people in ice detention; at the end of biden there were 40k. The democrats don't have the aesthetic of cruelty that you seem to object to so much, and I admit that it offends my aesthetic sensibilities as well, but comparing Obama 2, Trump 1, and Biden...apart from the aesthetic they're all the same...actually Biden's a lot worse. Trump 2 is obviously a crazy escalation (which the Democrats enabled by playing ball with this completely insane way of talking about and treating other human beings).
thank you
