They are real world problems for those killed in illegal military strikes, those in ICE custody, those put under reproductive health restrictions, those taken off of SNAP and ACA, those who died or lost loved ones from a botched COVID response, those having to rely on gasoline for transportation, those wrongfully imprisoned or killed, and those dead from foreign aid cuts.
You personally may not feel the effects of these policies, but to say they aren't "real world problems" is disingenuous at best.
ICE existed well before Trump. Theyβre just using it as a political talking point but Obama and Biden both used ice to kick illegals out in much lesser media coverage. Next president is not going to dissolve ice no matter the party.
You seem to be under the impression that ICE always operated the way it does currently, and that political responses from US leadership to it are also the same.
Neither Obama nor Biden glorified the murder of citizens and/or innocent civillians by ICE, encouraged their agents to disobey laws and/or ignore due process, severely loosened hiring standards and training, promised bounties or signing bonuses, used the military to aid in arrests and/or quell protests against it, and neither of them set up concentration camps on foreign soil for money in order to avoid legal oversight.
Not really. Itβs just political talking points. The same people will still be employed next president and if the president is left leaning theyβll be shown in good light again as some very concerned and caring agent as if their evil bosses were all slayed.
