It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I am old enough to remember Obama getting accused of opening the border, when he deported more people than Bush (or Trump)
There is no set number of immigrants you can cage, shoot, or expel to peel off voters from the republicans.
how the fuck is george bush the least bad on immigration? guess he was too busy starting wars
Republicans didn't go as hard on the border in the 1990s and 2000s as they did after Obama took office. I presume the experience of a black man being elected president made a lot of white reactionaries shortcircuit and they settled on the answer to "how did this happen" with "the democrats opened the border and flooded the country with mexicans / OTMs in order to cement their power"
OTMs?
Other Token Minorities?
Just my guess.
I still wouldn't call Bush good on this, he definitely escalated the anti immigration rhetoric and created the model that every monster since him has followed
I remember chuds getting all hot and bothered and telling me how Obama opened the border. Telling them Actually hes deported more people than W did. And watching it bounce off them like acorns off a squad car.
