- selectodude 2y agoYeah, we really are in denial.
- throwaway19972 2y agoTo be clear, the camps never went away, and we’ve been mass deporting for decades now. Support of ICE is a bipartisan effort. Iirc the only change Biden made was to end the policy of family separations. The rhetoric is massively different, but the actual policy is not. I really wouldn’t hold my breath for a president that doesn’t fearmonger about immigration in the forseeable future.

- mjfl 2y agothe genocide doesn't give you some form of perspective?
- edmundsauto 2y agoOne candidate has proposed a day of violence and given indications they consider “anyone who disagrees with me” as an “enemy within”. I don’t think they have talked about televised tribunals, and they also have a … tenuous … relationship with the truth or following through on promises (even when baselines against normal “politician lie rate”)
- mjfl 2y agothe genocide doesn't give you any form of perspective?
- edmundsauto 2y agoI honestly have no idea what you are insinuating. Can you be more specific and less clever?
- what 2y agoWhat genocide?
- jimbiliy325 2y agoyeah, and kamala just flat out isn't taking any non-scripted interviews - how are we supposed to know what she's really thinking at all?
- edmundsauto 2y agoDo you not think that people communicate their intention in a scripted situation? I, personally, script meetings because I don’t communicate effectively when put on the spot. To me, “unscripted” interviews feel like gotcha journalism - why not let someone take their time to describe their thought process? POTUS is not in a tactical fighter jet dogfight where low latency is massively important. What matters is thinking things through, to consider second order effects. Instinctual reactions are great for sports but I have no idea why they’d be important for politics, outside of optics. Type II systems, not type I.
- dang 2y agoYour comment broke several of the site guidelines, by (1) posting in the flamewar style, including nationalistic flamebait, (2) being snarky, (3) doing political battle, and (4) commenting about getting downvoted. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules? We'd appreciate it because we're trying to avoid hell here.
- adamc 2y agoThis is a story that is going to lead to political passions. Don't want such stories? Just kill them. What kind of useful conversation do you think it will raise that will not ignite passions? Sometimes your guidelines are stupid.
- dang 2y agoIt's good for HN commenters to learn to tolerate the passions without venting them unfiltered.

"More specifically, Trump has pledged to toss reporters in jail and strip major television networks of their broadcast licenses as retribution for coverage he didn't like." But hey, I'm doing political battle? You guys really are in denial.
- dang 2y agoYes he says bad things and yes your comment broke several HN guidelines.

- astro125labin 2y agoYeah, it's really scary right now. Trump with power is not going to end well for anyone, especially trans minorities
