Just like Obama and Biden built the cages that Trump uses today, the genocide in Gaza was facilitated and enabled every step of the way by the Democrats before Trump took over. Just as Trump in his first term had laid the foundations for Israel to be emboldened enough to carry out the atrocities it did years later. They're all complicit. Methods for enacting policies of violence may change between administrations, but the primary architecture and logic remains. There isn't actually a material divergence. Democrats and Republicans are colluders and collaborators maintaining the interests of the same corporate elites/ mandate. That is why what Democrats point to as uniquely Trump's fascism, must not be interpreted as such; as born or implemented over night after he came into office— its a process. Bush began creating the framework for who was legal/ illegal; for detaining and disappearing people (enabled by Reagan, Clinton previously); Obama built and developed that apparatus tenfold; as well as militarizing police and curtailing civil liberties. Trump expanded it. Biden then maintained it. So don't ask how Trump was able to do all that he has. Obama deported more people than all previous administrations combined— empowering ICE unlike ever before (first appointing current director Homan), who implemented horrific measures against those deemed illegal— as well as building the facilities and the institutional capabilities that later Trump used to separate families and cage children at an even larger scale. Because nobody challenged him, it only empowered and emboldened Trump. Both parties present themselves as diametrically opposed to one another in every conceivable way. Yet this is a lie and a sham. They're collaborators and collude to ultimately maintain the same political and corporate interests. At the basis of their shared agenda is the maintenance of the empire and the settler state at all costs; they will never jeopardize or abandon this. The state has been hollowed out through a corporate takeover across decades by oligarchs and now technocrats. The state is now merely a vehicle through which the wealthy and corporate elite purchase, assert, and protect their interests. Both parties serve the same role within this dynamic; how they carry out that mandate differs only in the rate/ pace of implementation and the optics of how they package and sell that agenda to the populace.
