    And just like every other time they’ve done this, the “caravan” will magically disappear on November 6th if the orange dipshit wins.

      You can put it on your calendar along with the war on xmas and the war on Easter - every two years, over the summer, a bunch of nonsense about migrant caravan(s) will start up…

    It’s just like those waves of antifa who invaded all those small towns in 2020. Remember? /s

    Seriously, the online Right actually believed they were going to be overrun. They’re incapable of intelligent reasoning about the most basic things. Or recalling how past claims failed to materialize and therefore viewing with skepticism new claims.

    Is it time for the scary phantom migrant caravans to make their fictional biannual trek again? My, time flies.

      (David Attenborough voice)

      Every two years, like Trekkies to a convention, the phantom migrant caravan reforms and embarks on a perilous pilgrimage to the US-Mexico border. Much like those Trekkies, many will not survive the arduous journey. Yet, their strength lies in numbers, allowing them to fend off against ravenous wolves, zealous ICE agents, and even cacti. Curiously, the caravan vanishes entirely in the middle of November, only to reform again two years later.

    This is going to make Biden double down on his illegal border actions…

    Which is the absolute worst path for Biden on this issue.

    All the voters that agree with Republicans on this topic are going to keep supporting trump, this will just push Dem voters from Biden. It’s important to remember when polls say “~60% of voters” that includes all the Republicans too, leaving ~10% of Dems. Biden needs to be looking at polls about specifically Dem voters and what we want.

    Having the ACLU fight a Dem president for doing something that Dems (rightfully) criticized trump for doing a few years ago is just a bad look in the run up to an election. Especially when the main reason people give for voting Dem is to stop trump.

    Becoming more like trump is the opposite of what he should be doing.

      The 180 in immigration has been disheartening to watch. Remember when everyone openly mocked “build the wall” dipshits?

        What’s worse than seeing it happen, is people saying Biden knows it won’t do anything, he’s just doing it to get republicans to vote for him…

        Like, they don’t realize they’re saying Biden should break the law and commit human rights abuses to get votes like that’s not disqualifying for lots of Dems voters.

        Especially when Biden won’t do the same thing for left leaning voters.

        It just makes it seem like Biden feels entitled to our votes, won’t do anything to help us, and is willing to break the laws and violate his personal morals for the chance a handful of Republicans will switch parties.

        I legitimately can not understand their (or Biden’s) logic on this. It only makes sense if they honestly want to do this stuff, and are just making excuses to rationalize it.

        Which again, just turns off Dem voters and makes Biden’s re-election less likely. And why we should be running candidates who agrees with Dem voters. Rather than convincing voters to vote for someone who doesn’t agree with them.

        It’s a slap in the face to Dem voters, and historically results in Republican presidents.
