Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.

Side note: Never listen when they say "now's not the time to talk about this in an election year." That's a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.

If public opinion is the problem then the correct thing to do is change public opinion, not throw up your hands and go "nothing can be done, we just have to keep splitting up these families and keeping them in concentration camps". How the hell did we get to the point where that seems inevitable?

The thing is, it's not public opinion, it's opinion among people who are going to vote Trump no matter what. Dems still think the winning strategy is to "push" republicans as far to the right as possible, then triangulate their own positions 1 iota to the left of the republicans so that all those moderate republican swing voters finally vote democrat.
