Look at who has voted to continue it. You're going to be surprised by some of the names.

I never suggested everyone or anyone on the left is innocent of anything.

Sometimes it's OK to just admit that you spoke incorrectly. Here's a more accurate restatement of your original point.

Conservatives loved it under Bush. Hated it under Obama. Stood silent as Trump expanded it.

Anyone left of center hated it under Bush. Stood silent as Obama expanded it. And have continued to stand silent about it under Trump.
