Ok, Republicons. What's it going to be this time: "devious mastermind Biden" or "dementia Biden"?
You may only choose one.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They'll choose both anyway. Maybe even in the same sentence.
Yeah but this time we surely got'em, right? Maybe if we compromise on voting rights and the Supreme Court they'll be convinced. If not, let's keep compromising until that changes.
Absolutely true.
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. - Umberto Eco, Ur Fascism, 1995
They are doing the same thing with Biden. Watch out! The Biden is getting away with massive crimes and using the deep state to take over the country, but at the same time, Biden is a doddering old fool who is too senile to accomplish anything.
These are the people that went from the biggest Commie haters to liking Russia the second the Democrats opposed Russia.
Republicans will take a more extreme or opposite position of the Democrats. It is impossible to appease to them.
He wants to prove he's tougher on immigrants than a far wing wing nut job.
He wants to convince independents and light blue/light red voters that he is doing something because it’s his weakest issue and he is currently being accused of complacency/making the border worse. He’s not trying to go further right than Trump.
Ol' wing wings mucking everything up.
Biden is limiting migrant crossings to 2,500 per day in an attempt to keep migrants from being homeless in sanctuary cities.
Trump forcibly separated parents from children, deported the parents and detained the children in facilities where they were physically and sexually abused, while outlawing immigration of Muslims and “suspected Muslims.”
Yup. They’re the basically the same thing.
You don't think families are still getting separated?

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen. I’m saying it’s not the mandated protocol by the President’s Executive Order, as it was under Trump.
And there are still kids in cages.
So it’s the same if it’s tens due to circumstance or tens of thousands due to presidential mandate? Get outta here with your trolling.
He's trying to prove that using policy on a group that goes on vibes. They won't be convinced until he starts using undeniably racist statements they'll insist isn't racist.
Don't tempt him.
Democrat governors are also stressed about the impact of immigration. I think this is to appeal to more than just republicans.
