I feel that the Democrats might bear some responsibility for these ICE raids

They spent this long making jokes about how Trump "always chickens out". What did they expect to come from that? It was practically urging him to take a more aggressive approach, and now families are being torn apart

@eris i thought the TACO thing was just from the past couple weeks about the tariffs?

i think the dems bear quite some responsibility for letting it all continue without comment every time they had any opportunity to even pretend to push back against the excesses

@apophis it was but what did they expect except for him to be like "oh y'all want me to go full dictator?"

It's like if Germans made fun of Hitler for not rounding up enough Jews

@eris @apophis the most sensible explanation of the dems weird reluctance to stand up to trump at all that I've heard is they want to make people's lives bad enough due to what trump's doing that there'll be a big blue wave in 2026

@eris @apophis from a completely cynical vote-seeking perspective it's honestly not a bad strategy. if you dont care about the wellbeing of your voters, why not just let trump wreck their lives? stopping him would just mean a lower voter turnout for your team and a higher turnout for his

I love democracy 🙃

@nemesis @apophis I don't think that's intentional. I think they're just retarded. Blue wave will definitely happen tho

@eris @apophis on the one hand believing this theory fits my assumption that politicians are always evil, but believing its just them being retarded fits my assumption that politicians are always retarded, so I'm uncertain personally cirno_shrug

@nemesis @apophis Democrats don't actually give a shit if they're in power or not or if there's a blue wave. They see it as a job at the end of the day. The individuals might not want to lose their personal seats, but they don't care about each other's careers or seeing more Democrats than themselves.

Especially those in Democrat leadership positions like Nancy Pelosi feel secure in their seats so even in a minority, she has her job so all she has to do is do sarcastic claps and call him a taco to fool her voters into thinking she has a spine.

There's no grand strategy. This is just how they make money so they can buy the next Apple Dookie Pro.

@nemesis @eris sometimes people don't really "mean" to do something, but they don't think about it and the incentives they follow uncritically as a matter of course just naturally lead them to do it

maybe not first degree specific intent malice aforethought but one really does want to ask if anything can help overcome the motivation to not think about it despite repeated prompting

The Democratic Party has just raised the war flag and warned the Republic Party that if they keep abusing their voters, the Democratic Party will be forced to raise the war flag and send another warning
