Just because the grunts are dead serious doesn't mean the initiative is dead serious.
Even then, serious doesn't equal competent. They are still trying to deport Abrego Garcia. Spending millions in legal fees and transport to deport a single man is not pratical in the slightest.
- esseph 1y agoIt's not about practically, it's about enforcing will and punishing enemies, especially self-created ones.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoYes. The cruelty is the point. But that's of course not how they message it to their party. Turns out cruelty is very expensive to maintain, though. And we certainly do not have the economy to keep accommodating the narrative as real citizens starve and lose jobs. Something's going to break.
- blurbleblurble 1y agoListen I'm sure there are some who are in it only for the messaging. But you're in denial if you really think certain driven individuals in all three branches of the us government aren't dead ass serious about taking this stuff to misanthropic ends.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoWe seem to be misaligned on what "serious" is in this context. Perhaps "inefficient" is a better way to phrase it. They are not concenred with effective immigration reform. But they are dead serious about being as bigoted as possible before consequences hit down down the line. But their message isn't directly saying "spend 1 trillion dollars to be bigoted"
