With millions of mass migrants showing up at the southern border each year, it is a very big problem. That Dems allowed MAGA/Trump to capitalize on it by shifting to the left on immigration in recent years is dereliction of duty.
Remember the 2019 debates? When Dem candidates were trying to one-up each other over who would be more permissive and inviting toward all these mass migrants? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Have you fauxgressives really reached the point on the horseshoe where you are saying that Islam is preferable to Christianity because Islam oppresses women more? Seriously? Even if you only direct it at the women you hate, this is still highly distasteful.

Why this derail?
In any case, neither is the Left.

Oh fer fuck's sake.
Read for tone, sir. Tone.
Watch some Bill Burr or Patton Oswalt or Anthony Jeselnik.
Tone.
Tone. I really can't explain it more than that.

That was the previous Congress (2021-2023). We are now in the 118th Congress. That's why Mike Johnson is the Speaker - because GOP has the majority.
He is the minority leader and filibuster for judicial appointments has been scrapped.

Hard to convey over text.
And there is a genuine "Christianity is worse than Islam" view on the fauxgressive left.
It has to do with fauxgressives operating on a rigid oppressor/oppressed paradigm.
Christianity == oppressor. Muslims == oppressed, so the former must be worse, or so the ideology dictates.
You are not them.

Dude! Above you admit my statement is correct, and in the same breath, call it propaganda.
There are professionals who specialize in helping people sort out inner conflicts like that.

So, let's look at your complaint for just one more jiffy. You logged on to a website dominated by atheism. You read a post by a long-time opponent of just about every religious narrative and cause there is. You saw what you thought was approval of mistreatment of women under Sharia law, and you found that highly distasteful. And the (sarcastic) tone just didn't get conveyed sufficiently.
Then there is no remedy.
There will just have to be the collateral damage of offended feelings now & then.

Can you elaborate about how/why this is a problem?
Again, I'm being serious. I want to understand it from your perspective.
Keyword "propaganda".
Considering you believe Project 2025 is not a thing, I'm pretty certain you're screwed.

Don't know if someone posted this on a previous page, and TLDR-AF, as they say. Texas land commissioner Dawn Buckingham (looks like Laura Ingraham's younger sister, the kind of blonde that always gets a kickass gig on Fox) has promised Trump 1400 acres of land in Starr County, which is down in that chubby gila monster tail of the state, for him to build detention centers. The army will no doubt be down there not long after New Years. I imagine they'll have a bunch of fenced-in barracks labeled Los Ninos.
