    Democrats will never dismantle an organization that they gain so much from. Prior to this year, the largest increases in federal funding to ice and the department of Homeland security have come from Democrats. Who else is going to do the record number of deportations for Democrats if it wasn’t for ice and Homeland security? And I’m sure I don’t need to remind anyone that the one currently running things for Trump was running things for Obama.

    And how are we going to do that? By asking politely? Waving more signs? Marches?

    Actually convincing people to fucking vote is the only peaceful solution.

          I can’t, but you could take this opportunity to stop posting quitter comments online. Just go away if you can’t help

          And if “WE’RE FUCKED NO MATTER WHAT WE DO” is all you have to say, you have nothing to say

              I’m saying there’s no value in adding doomer loser noise to the signal.

              Adding a positive is positive, reducing a negative is also a positive. I’m reducing a negative by asking these helpless bleating losers to be less unhelpful and vocal.

              I’m happy and open to having a positive and constructive conversation, but they don’t start with rude challenges

    This rally cry (to dismantle DHS) sounds exactly like the kind of popular policy position the Democrats always take when they are out of power. Then, when we give them the power to act, they refuse to implement it (usually in service of some nonsense like “mending”, “coalition building”, or “returning to normalcy”).
