Given that this type of thing has never once appeased the republicans, isn't it much more reasonable to assume that Biden and the dems just genuinely want to do this of their own volition?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 5 months ago

Definitely feels like it for Biden considering how hard he's been pushing for this and the Republicans immigration bill

The purpose of a system is what it does.

surprised-pika me when Biden burns his support to appease the Hitlerites and they still hate him by exactly the same amount and low information voters get the idea that the Hitlerites have real legitimate positions because the president is conceding everything to them

If Biden starting assassinating and drone striking the undocumented - the GOP would still criticize him because he wasn't murdering enough illegals and he wasn't going nearly fast enough.

Don't give him ideas!

He could finish the wall and add auto guns on it and they'd still complain.

"Here's the deal. The border is gonna be secure. More than ever before. We're gonna put turrets on the wall. Lots of turrets. With lots of guns. And not just any guns. Gatling guns like our fighter jets have. Big, powerful guns. [unintelligible] because the Gatling guns [unintelligible]."

Literally the GOP response to Biden's genocide across Palestine.

The only reason they're calling it "mass amnesty" is because Biden didn't give them carte blanche to just start gunning down migrants on sight. Which to that, I say if somehow against all odds Biden pulls out a second term? Give it two years; he's already murdering everyone else and enslaving the survivors.

No matter what you do in life to appease the right, they will ALWAYS seek a further right position. This is why you do not concede to their narratives- unless, oddly... perhaps... Biden actually just agrees with them? Hmm

But yeah it seriously doesn't matter. If Biden CLOSED the border completely, the right wing position would be "wow. I can't believe he's letting them just live right there on the outside of the border. We must begin machine gunning them immediately!"

If he began murdering them they'd demand full invasion to root out the "terrorist illegals" or something

It just goes on and on. The right wingers always strive towards total destruction of humanity, themselves included in the end. You can't cede any ground to them because they'll spit in your face and just demand even worse shit. I think everyone sort of inherently knows this, especially Joe "been in politics for 50 fucking years" Biden. He just agrees with the right on many issues and probably some dumbass sycophants in his cabinet thought his idea to out flank Trump to the right on his center piece electoral item would work....... it immediately got undermined when it was a bill and it was DOA as an executive order. Literally no one wants this. Right wingers want mass executions of migrants, liberals want to fix the asylum backlog, although their reasons why and how to fix it are disconnected from reality, and the left... I dunno. Fuck Biden. He's an old dipshit. Lift sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela if you wanna do something for immigration you asshole. Clearly closing a border is illegal and moronic and immoral. But what else to expect from Jim Crow Joe

A Democrat president has taken up Trump-like bans to crack down on migrants. For the GOP, it isn't enough.
