And I'm familiar with this nonsense of pointing at one problem and not looking at anything else so you can say "sEe bOtH sAmE".
I’m literally pointing to the exact same problems. You just only care when a Republican does it.
And I've acknowledged them and explained that while they are similar the issue of scale is still something you are ignoring. I care when both groups do it, but the argument was that republicans are worse. And they are because they do all the shit dems do AND more AND at a larger scale.
The point is you’re not considering the actual, literal scale. You’re judging by how it feels.
Biden deported 250% more people than Trump’s first term. Stephen Miller recently went out a shouting rant at ICE heads for barely keeping pace with Biden’s numbers.
So no, you don’t care about the actual scale. You care about the scale of how intensely the media reporting makes you feel about it. There’s nothing mathematical about it. There’s no measurement. Which is why you don’t care when it’s a Democrat.
