    What do you see when you look at this?

    🫰NOT the thirst trap congresswoman. 👋 The chart, what do you see?

    Trump is looking like he’ll top one million. He did it. He beat Obama’s record. 🎉🙄

    All Presidents are scum.

    America was NEVER “great”.

        AOC makes a big deal about ICE and deportations when Trump is in office. But when Democrats do it, suddenly she doesn’t seem to care.

          So is the implied “argument” here that ICE is just as evil under Democrat presidents as it is under Trump?

            I think people who rape, torture, kidnap, steal, and deport others are evil, no matter who their boss is.

              Cool, that’s fair. But it also makes it hard to have nuanced conversations about the organizations doing all of that evil shit way more under certain bosses.

              Do you have sources showing ICE having a problem with rape, torture and kidnapping under previous administrations?

              Jesus fuck how am I the one “defending” ICE here?

              We know Obama deported more people. Most of us are aware of that, and it’s a major criticism that we have of him. But Obama followed the law and due process, and I’m not aware of the systemic issues you’re referring to happening under him.

              Under Trump it’s literally the point.

              If you cannot tell the difference, then maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
