    Ngl I kinda did, I was expecting similar to Trump’s first term vs Kamala kept saying shit like “most lethal military” so I was worried she was gonna do exactly what Trump’s doing right now (although probably less stupidly)

    I was wrong, obviously

      well, half wrong.

      the terrors under democrats are more orderly so as not to offend the sensibilities of the white moderate. ICE wouldn’t be snatching people out of their immigration hearings or occupying Minneapolis but they would be raiding places and deporting people more efficiently.

      and who knows who she’d be bombing.

          She was but I think she would’ve taken one of the many deals that were offered. Same as Obama, it would be an extortion deal about a threat that never existed in the first place (see citations-needed episode about JCPOA from years ago) but it would’ve been better for everyone involved than war and ongoing sanctions.
