    Fighting back against fascism is great, but fighting for a slightly more benevolent form of fascism won’t get you anywhere. You really think the Dems will abolish ice if they get Trump out if office?

      United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”)

      Formed: March 1, 2003; 22 years ago

      They had a couple opportunities to already, and didn’t.

      It didn’t start with Trump, does not likely end with Trump, did not end with Dems.

      The only problem Dems see with ICE is their lack of training. If they ever get back in control, they’d increase ICE funding under the guise of getting them better trained.

        Ok, fair enough. I don’t know what the future will look like any better than anyone else. But imo fighting fascists is always better than just letting it happen.

          This absolutely. No matter how hopeless it is, if you do not even try, they will win.
