    Democrats have spent years vilifying ICE as “fascists,” “the Gestapo,” and “slave patrols,” inciting a 1,000% surge in assaults on agents and a wave of Radical Left terror. Their words aren’t just reckless — they’re a battle cry for violence.

    You can create a list twice as long as this of Trump’s comments vilifying and inciting violence against democrats.

    Edit: I find it funny that they linked the “1,000%” number to a story that doesn’t include any evidence for the number.

    I want to know where that figure comes from. 1,000% is probably small when you consider how much ice has expanded in size and activity.

      Percentage is probably one of the easiest ways to calculate a difference but presenting a percentage change can be mildly misleading if you don’t know what the original numbers are.

      An increase of 100% is really a 2x increase, 1000% increase is an 11x increase.
      If there used to be 1 ICE raid a month and now there are 11, that’s a 1000% increase. Given the change in directive and ramp up in action I’d be somewhat surprised if it was only 1000%

        Yeah, that’s was what I was getting at, just worded much better. I feel like ice activity has increased way more than 1000% since Trump took office.

      Yes Trump, people upset that a masked and poorly trained federal shadow force can kick in your door zip tie your children without a warrant disappear you forever without accountability or a right to a trial in the middle of the night is clearly an unreasonable concern

    This guy is making history. Because we’ve never before seen, a president really act like an intolerable, immature, fuckwit who treats all of this like it’s high school again.

    Normally, Presidents of the past just get up on podiums and get into professional interviews to talk of their opponents or so.

    This guy just posts a generic list while crying about the truth.

    It’s true, they are his enemies, indeed truth IS his enemy. Trumps enemies are myriad, and they are the best people.

    I think nixon at least kept his private. Its funny as there was some debate under trump1 on who was worse nixon, bush jr, or trump. At least for me this is no longer an outstanding question.

    Look where continuously voting for right wing parties brought us… Obviously, only voting for far-right parties can get us out of this.
