Interesting parallels between 2024 & 2020, when riots & anarchist zones were breaking out across dozens of major cities throughout the nation.
The best move, theorically, would have been for Trump to launch the national guard... but that would have been unleashing the military against 'peaceful protesters'... or that's how the media would have framed it.
So, Trump didn't take the bait for the 'best move,' but it would have been the best for 'law & order,' though it would have been aggressively used against him by the Democrats and their propaganda mouthpieces in the media.
Biden has the same situation here, and like Trump he's not going to take the bait. The difference is the border is perceived as a disaster on both Republicans & Democrats. And Democrats leaders are already not going to sign border security funding even when Ukraine & Israel's funding is tied to it.
The senate border deal right now is a disaster and does absolutely nothing for security. It is just to process people faster into the country and give them work visas to compete against our middle-lower class, taking up resources and tax money, which is basically whatever everyone is complaining about.
However, if a "bi-partisan" deal is made, people will think Biden is doing something to secure the border, cause they won't look into the details.
The bill literally says it is OK to let in 5000 migrants a day. What happens after 5000? If they don't let more than 5000/day in, those at the border will start fighting and/or killing each other to get ahead. Or cartels will charge people more to get ahead of the line and will deal with those messing up their bussiness.
Plus saying they are allowing 5000/day will only increase the amount of migrants coming in, as it is now "legal" for illegals to come in.
It makes absolutely no sense.
As your 2020 point, I think Trump SHOULD have done that to show his strength and make people feel safe, the BLM protests went on way too long, and the averge person had completely soured on BLM after a couple months. Contrary, the average person has never been in favour of the border situation, so Biden can fuck off.
Plus voters (outside of crazy lefties) will realize that COVID and BLM riots were not Trump's fault at all and he had a line to walk. Biden on the other hand literally invited all these migrants are part of his campaign.
edit: Trump should take out ads on big public buildings in NYC and Chicago on videotrons or whatever playing this clip of harris. Wonder what the minorities in those cities make of Harris' plan here and how they will spend even more of their tax money
