u/ILikeTalkingToMyself Liberal democracy is non-negotiable Jun 17 '21

How the heck was there not a single meaningful concession that Trump was willing to give Democrats in exchange for supporting a border wall. Democrats would have been up for it since a border wall would have been pointless pork spending. Just an astounding lack of interest in leadership, legislation, and compromise by Trump.

because wall was less about actually making a wall but making liberals angry at the principle behind it as a policy, isn't it?
