>you are un-American and hate our freedoms and Constitutional rights.

Funny how you sound exactly like the idiots who tried to scare us into the Iraq war. I made an anti-war speech at my high school (in a red city) and was one of the only kids in the entire school against that war. I guess I've always been able to detect bullshit.

>Probably because the news sources you follow didn't talk about them.

I was as left as they get until Biden. I watched MSNBC, read Mother Jones and all the other leftwing outlets until the pandemic broke the spell over me. I remember some very tepid criticism of Obama but certainly nothing like the hysteria that is currently happening.

People are only reacting like this because they are reacting to what their TV is telling them. It's assigned opinion. The numbers under Trump are lower than under Obama, yet this hysterical nonsense about fascism. Look at your comment! Dialogue simply wasn't that extreme under Obama and it was not controversial to deport criminals... What changed? It's purely TDS brain rot from the left. They've lost their grip and are caught up in something because they don't know how else to respond I guess? Whatever 'this' moment is on the left, it's going to be more ignored and less impactful that Occupy was. Normal people want to deport criminals...

Also the selective outcry is getting absurd. The left simply ignores when actual refugees are killed but then gets hysterical over these idiots getting killed when they attack ICE. There is zero logical consistency.

No one is illegal on stolen land--so come steal more. My body my choice... except for vaccines for babies that are for sexually transmitted diseases... Masks are for everyone (except ICE)! I would simply collapse under the mental strain of keeping all this bullshit in my head. You complain about checkpoints.. and these idiots protesting ICE are instilling their own vigilante checkpoints. It's all just layers and layers of hypocrisy and logical inconsistency. I can't take it.

>Because they think you are so ignorant of other countries that you don't know there are many places where you can cross a national border without going through checkpoints.

I'm pretty sure you don't know jackshit about where I've traveled, so quit talking out your ass.

Do you simply want to surrender American citizenship so easily? It means that little to you? Do you not have kids? I assume not because the people spouting this stuff never seem to have any stake in the next generation and seem to be putting all their parental instincts into immigrants (out of some misguided toxic empathy).

>What sort of TV are you watching to get more coverage?

I don't watch TV. It's purely there to brainwash people and misdirect them. I read the news and wait a month or two for the dust to settle and reassess and read sources from all sides then do some sort of triangulation of facts. Sometimes I have hard left opinions--like I fully support Medicare for all. And other times I have hard right opinions (I'm where Hillary was in 2008). The Overton window shifts... this is why democrats keep losing voters. They lost 5 million registered voters under Biden at the same time republicans gained a similar number. That's the only reason democrats care about immigrants... it's a way to pad their numbers and maintain political power. If the census didn't count immigrants, then there'd simply be zero political incentive for them.

Also, I think the funniest political change I've seen are the liberals in the upper Northeast and Chicago and places where migrants were bused into. Liberals IMMEDIATELY changed their tune once they saw what drain on resources this actually has. They were fine with it when they thought it would only impact the southern states, but as soon as they took a small dose of their own medicine they changed position.
