And that’s an accidental admission that you didn’t notice when the Dems were doing this stuff. Exactly my point.
So when did the democrats send out ICE and DHS en masse country wide? Or how about when they deployed the Marines against peaceful protestors? Did the democrats do those things without my notice? I'll be shocked.
Edit: Ooo let's throw in a bonus of illegal cuts to NIH, purging of the vaccine panel, and gutting of multiple federal agencies and workers. I'm sure that all the people caught in those broad pointless layoffs sure are glad the fucking democrats weren't in, they might have still had jobs!
Hahahaha. I love it. Commenters just can’t stop making my point for me. ‘I never heard of the Democrats doing anything like that!’ Yeah, that’s exactly my point, genius.

Because what you provide aren't equivalent events at all. Looking at two of your three recent examples (I'm not going to tackle every single link you've put throughout this thread.) (And ignoring that the 3 things you provided here are not even related to the things I said)
In the case of children being left without representation, it happened, it's heinous it was also infrequent enough to be a big deal as I do recall that issue. Now it's happening frequently.
In the case of the national guard, that was ordered at a state level for riots , not by an overreavhing president for a peaceful protest, and never involved deploying marines in conjunction. On top of that his deployment of them was not immediate, though the gop pushed for them to be more immediate. There are legitimate times for calling in military support, such as when riots overwhelm local law resources.
You are putting up these sources as if they are equivalent and irrefutable proof of dems being worse. I am not saying bad things didn't happen under them. I said from the start that they have their own share of fuckups. But I am saying that the total, frequency, and severity are incredibly less as well as the general responses to these failures being better overall. It's such a stark difference, as to make your opinion that the GOP being a lesser evil insane.
If you spent some time critiquing the events you link in relation to current events you would see how flat it falls as a comparison. Yes, shit happens under every single government and candidate and party. But to sit here and pretend that the gop are the "lesser evil" is blind at beast and willful ignorance or a propaganda narrative at worst.
