    Hell even if you wrongly believe Obama and Biden where only using these systems for “right” Liberals seem to completely lack a material understanding of what these systems can do when expanded like that.

      Obama expanded drone strikes. He used them for wrong, did it for years, and got a fucking Nobel Peace Prize for it. Fuck that guy.

      There’s also not a lot of willingness to roll things back whenever the Republicans lose power for a time. Like, for the sake of argument, lets say Trump and his allies fail to sufficiently gerrymander or rig or cancel or just win the next couple of elections, and manage to lose control of both congress and the presidency. Does anyone really expect all those new ICE agents they hired to be suddenly fired, rather than just continue to do what they’re doing without as much media attention driving public ire against them once the president isnt going on rants about deporting people all the time?
