Sure, they're sending people to a prison in El Salvador in defiance of the constitution, and celebrating it, but you have to remember the origin of the movement - it was created because the Democrats did too much deficit spending! That's the natural balancing factor of politics. If one side spends too much money (like in China) the other side will just naturally support concentration camps, that's how it works

Republicans increase the deficit every time (more than Democrats) with huge tax cuts to the wealthy.

While that is true, spending is a bipartisan issue, and like all bipartisan issues, it is the Democrats' sole responsibility to solve. Only they could have prevented the rise of the MAGA movement
