Depends. Everyone who voted against Trump knows this and it’s probably why they did but most non voters and maga are still ignorant.
The last administration proposed sanctioning the ICC

We have first past the past voting here, this means we don’t vote based on who we like but rather who is the lesser of two evils.
It makes it easy for good and smart people here to support things like this, even if they don’t want to, because the alternative is worse.
The irony is that had the previous administration followed what Obama and Clinton and every other previous administration did on the border topic, they would have won in a landslide. But now the corruption of the last few years is being revealed and it'll be interesting to see the fallout over the next few years.
The Biden admin and Dems literally tried giving the majority of the people what they wanted and the Reps stopped them to make Biden and the Dems look bad and the irony is Biden and the Dems were ready to give the Reps what they’ve been asking for with the border and immigration for years.
