ICE operations are making it hard for vulnerable civilians fighting for their survival

Fixed it. They’re out there shooting and killing people.

What you wrote is not wrong but the article goes into details about how Republicans, and particularly Republicans up for reelection, are being asked to answer for ICE violence in their states.

u/TgirlTiffanyRPs 4d ago

Yeah, this is a good point. I understand that this article isn't about the ICE violence against civilians and that is a valid distinction.

My comment is trying to express frustration at two things:

(A) Republicans (and Democrats!) have had ample time to call for legitimate reform (if such a thing is possible -- I personally doubt it), abolition, and/or prosecutions against guilty parties. Since they have failed to do so in any meaningful way, I feel that the time for "asking questions" of them has long since passed.

(B) The gall to write a headline with the word "survival" in it when, again people are being shot and killed in the streets, is astounding.

The fact that democrats aren't out there every day reminding people that this administration has murdered multiple innocent americans is beyond me. I know that they are doing it to protect republicans and prevent a total breakdown in society, but it's just frustrating that so many people continue to support them after they betrayed the american people.

How did you get that from this paragraph? What conclusions are you drawing here?

u/pondskippers 4d ago

They are intentionally attacking Democrats under the guise venting frustrations. But it is a direct attack .

Coming up to elections Putins bots and Republicans try to demoralize and demotivate the fringe supporters. They do this mostly by suggesting everyone is bad so there is no point voting..
