I know I will upset many when I say this but: Nobody cared when it happened under Obama's administration (as with most atrocities that happened when he was president).
- dominotw 9y agoIt happened at much much larger scale in 2010. Noone gave a shit.
- nitrogen 9y agoThis level of deliberate ignorance of history is surprising to see on HN. Lots of people were just as concerned about abuses under Obama (and Bush before that) as under any other administrations.
- dominotw 9y agoNo they were not. I never heard of immigrant marches at airports in 2010. Care to back up your "just as concerned" ?
- nitrogen 9y agoYou could try backing up your claim that nobody cared in 2010. You didn't say anything about "immigrant marches" in your original post. Protest and petition change forms over time. The burden of proof does not. P.S. Thanks for reminding me why I stopped commenting on HN, saves me a bunch of time.

- emsy 9y agoYeah the "nobody" was hyperbole, but it's obvious that the current concerns are broadly driven by partisanship.
