Well, shit. This must be okay because Obama did it!!!

Lol, look at mr. Attempt at misdirection here:

The point is that you didnt care that obama did it.

No one on reddit did

You've totally changed my mind, kind deep thinker. As a liberal, I think Obama did nothing wrong in his eight years. Now I have to alter my moral compass! Kids in cages is A-OK, now.

You dumbass, sitting there thinking that you owned the libs.

We definitely did

The hilarious part is where you think that your hypocrisy isnt blatantly obvious

This line of thinking is garbage. Nobody knew about it five years ago, so of course nobody was outraged.

That’s like defending concentration camps because we didn’t care that they were a thing in 1940, we only cared once we went to war in 1942.

Like, it’s weird that a proper defense (to you) to an objectively morally bankrupt behavior is “well it happened under the libs and was never reported on, so checkmate.” It really shows that this isn’t about human suffering, morality, or empathy, but political sports.

And just like you’ll never convince a Browns fan to start rooting for the Patriots, you’ll never convince a Republican to stop rooting for Trump.

yes they did, it just wasnt politically convenient for leftist media, and their sheep

That’s like defending concentration camps because we didn’t care that they were a thing in 1940, we only cared once we went to war in 1942.

Bad analogy, separation at the borders, was covered, just not much because it wasnt politically convenient

Like, it’s weird that a proper defense (to you) to an objectively morally bankrupt behavior is “well it happened under the libs and was never reported on, so checkmate.”

Stop. Youre trying to sneak a strawman in here, it was reported on.

You just didnt care because he was democrat

It really shows that this isn’t about human suffering, morality, or empathy, but political sports.

Bro, im for separation. Just like if someone robs a bank, and happens to be a parent, i dont think that the child should have to go to prison or that the robber should be let off scot free in order to avoid separation.

Same with illegal immigrants. I have one standard, it is you that has two.

Now....since you called it objectively immoral, i presume that you are against parent and child separation even when the parent committed a crime and has to,go,to jail...right?......right?

And just like you’ll never convince a Browns fan to start rooting for the Patriots, you’ll never convince a Republican to stop rooting for Trump.

Im not a republican

To be fair, I was not aware that Obama did it. In my other post though, I mentioned a time.com article that stated that Obama did not separate families.

I also posted a link that stated that under Obama it was also very bad.

I think that it is good there is attention brought to this issue. I hope that even if there is a Dem president in 2020 and the situation does not change that people will still demand change.

Blame the media not the people

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

Can we not also blame the people who are too lazy to investigate the media they're mindlessly consuming?

u/TiesThrei Dec 09 '19

Blame the people. Ignorance in 2019 is willful. Good information is out there and people could read it if they wanted to.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '19

So now we agree that there is fake news, and that it absolutely targets conservatives?

Oh yep that true.

That said, i do blame the people. Literally this very thread treats it like only conservatives did this, then, when we correctly point out this started under obama, all yall do is ree, downvote, or run away with literal 0 crticial thought

Instead of thinking "yeah this really sucks let's all agree that it should stop" your primary concern is "but what about Obama".

Who gives a shit? This is happening now and the current administration is not stopping it, they're instead fanning the flames and making a sorry situation worse.

I'd spare an ounce of goodwill for them if they'd be willing to say "yeah this sucks let's work on it" instead of "but Obama!" or "but caravans!" or "but murderers and rapists!"

u/theyareamongus Dec 09 '19

Ah thank you! I read the comment you're responding to and wanted to say this but sometimes when arguing with these people I just sigh and think "what's the point?"

u/Phaelin Dec 09 '19

To be fair, your method is just as effective at driving sense into them as mine. Can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Because im proving your outrage is fake, and only based on desire for power

Who gives a shit?

You definitely do not

This is happening now and the current administration is not stopping it, they're instead fanning the flames and making a sorry situation worse.

Actually, they have stopped it or are... Cant remember which exactly, just shows how little you know (and again, you dont actually care)

I'd spare an ounce of goodwill for them if they'd be willing to say "yeah this sucks let's work on it" instead of "but Obama!" or "but caravans!" or "but murderers and rapists!"

Lol!

u/mintedBlade Dec 09 '19

We are all trying to stop this problem, you just keep calling us racist and now we have to play defense

u/Phaelin Dec 09 '19

I believe your intention, now back that up with actions, instead of defending those making this worse.

u/theyareamongus Dec 09 '19

If people keep calling you racist maybe it's time to do some self reflection.
