indeed. iran is a bipartisan issue, same as border fascism. a harris administration would perhaps not do literally the same things like this or specific ICE raids, but they absolutely would be (and campaigned on) doing more border fascism than republicans and given the fall of syria, iran was going to be next up on the decades long project of destabilizing and subjugating the region.
we can look at secretary clinton, france, and the destruction of libya as a model for how the same ends are achieved in a brunch-safe way.
I mean....
ICE would be deporting twice as many people, but they'd be quieter about it and the media would be dead silent on the topic. They wouldn't be letting "the cruelty is the point" get in the way of ruthless efficiency.
the brunch crowd cares about the optics too much for them to do exactly the same things.
