    A list of Trump’s executive orders that Biden rolled back is a weirdo list of random things?

    That seems like a transparently stupid thing to say - I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, stand back and let you explain that one.

    It can’t be that you think that because some things are easy to undo, all things are, and that because my examples don’t fit that narrative, you dismiss them in a fog of cognitive dissonance.

      You came up with some stupid list of bull crap and want to discuss that instead of the actual topic because you’ve lost the argument.

      You lost the argument in the general case: it is generally far easier to make something worse than improve upon it.

      And you lost the argument in the specific case: it is more difficult to reunite children with their parents than separate families, and it is extremely more difficult to do so when you don’t know who to reunite them with.

        Yes - it’s harder to reunite kids with their parents than it is to separate them - I’m not arguing that - I’m saying that not every bad thing the GOP does is an act of destruction - like the creation of the executive orders Biden destroyed, like the creation of the policies that led to the separation of those children from their parents. Destroying bad policy or bad EOs isn’t inherently harder than creating them - repairing the damage they do is the hard part, but you don’t get to do that until you fix the bad policy/EO. This is the part where the Democrats have made some progress, are world better than the GOP, but remain a disappointment.

        You’re boiling down everything that the GOP does to destruction, and that simply isn’t the case as I’ve already demonstrated. As long as you insist on ramming those square pegs into such an over-simplistic round hole view of the world, discarding any clear, but inconvenient fact, you’ll fail to understand the world, and any conclusions you draw will continue to be utterly worthless.

        Now I’ll stand aside and make room for you to stupidly/dishonestly pretend that destroying bad EOs (which is exactly as easy as creating them) is “bull crap”, and that I’ve said the GOP creating bad things is somehow good because you imagine creating things is inherently good, and only something the Democrats do.

        Fuck me - I’m honestly ashamed to share a political tent with such a moron, but better you than the Nazis, I suppose.

          The simple act of “creating an executive order” isn’t an act of creation / improvement in any sense except for perhaps the most literal and pedantic sense.

          Of course it’s as possible to repeal executive orders as it was to issue them in the first place, the point is that much of the damage was already done and some of it is permanent.

          Like we share tents…you’re probably one of the “Genocide Joe” morons.
