    It isn’t that they didn’t “Completely remove law enforcement” or whatever. But that even when they run on these expansions of state violence and repression being bad, they immediately walk that back, make it bipartisan and even expand this very authoritarian repression apparatuses, like Obama running on opposition of Bush era anti-terrorism and opposition to ICE, but then expanding and empowering both once in power.

      What are you even trying to get at. Obama banned torture and a ton of CIA black sites. But you’re saying because he didnt reduce the USs surveliance network to 0 he is comparable to Trump. As for deportations thats a right wing meme and im not suprised you’re repeating it back. Obama barely deported more than previous years and as far as im aware they were legal. Go look into it if you dont believe me.
