“The most important thing right now is to vote for the pro-ICE candidate to get Trump out of office.”
I wonder how many dems running in 2026 will actually say stuff like "I’m a proud democrat. But we need border security. When I was in the Marines we had a saying - ‘Secure the perimeter…’ "
Given the number of military veterans that are coming out of the woodwork to run under the dem ticket while centering the need for more treatsbenefits for veterans, it feels like we’re at the most mere months away from this happening.
Ninja edit. I googled to find out who said it but - in a shocker - google was shit. Whatever I searched for - google insisted on “helping” me by giving me republican results. Even when I used -republican to tell it to fuck off with that shit.
Ninjaninja edit. The best result I found was from Minnesota Senator Tina Smith: “Clearly, I see a role in our country for strong border security…” But she’s surely not the answer although she’s another dem shit.
God - I fucking hate google. I was almost tempted to use AI because I just want the answer. But opening Pandora’s box - even just lil - seems like a bad idea. Very, very bad.
It’s someone local and I’m working on pulling this person into a better position.
A lot of libs have no ideology besides some nebulous drive to “help people” which manifests in them co-opting more-right-wing positions without even thinking through them.

And I’m thinking “so what?” I don’t get patriotism at all. It’s a chunk of land I was born in, big whoop!
I must have been thinking of that subconsciously.
