ICE having a budget to rival a nation's military is a stark reminder that no right-wing objections to government services are ever about the cost. Money is no object, they are simply deciding what their goals are and your success and survival are never on their agenda.
@geekysteven moreover, ICE has proven rights to murder with impunity. So it's not about the cost of human life either.
@geekysteven what happ to healthcare?!

Also, that the #2A is about protecting democracy from tyranny

@geekysteven Donโ€™t tread on meโ€”tread on them

@toastal @geekysteven Yes. The emphasis in โ€Donโ€™t tread on meโ€ was always on ME, and the problem with spending was that it was not going on them.

We have forgotten how authoritarians work: First of all, they are many. All around us. Secondly, the emphasis is on ACTION. That makes language secondary.

@geekysteven If people find out that a dollar is the same amount of money whether it pays for school lunch or tear gas, itโ€™s over for the American right
@geekysteven The right has always prioritized harm over help...unless it helps them.
@WideEyedCurious @geekysteven I mean, plenty of right wingers will shoot their own foot if you tell them their shoes are communist.

@geekysteven They would probably argue (without evidence) that they are ejecting migrants, which are somehow posing a cost to the country. Like spending money to fund redundancies, itโ€™s the kind of spend conservative and right wing types can sign up for.
