      Obama, Biden, Hillary, Feinstein and other prominent Dems all voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, with authorized hundreds of miles of hard barrier along the Southern Border. Has anyone explained what made that bill acceptably liberal, while similar efforts today are fascist?

      Finally: why are you maligning these obviously legitimate questions - asking politicians to reconcile their voting record with their current rhetoric - as "trolling"? You've invented a justification for these Dem leaders that they haven't offered for themselves. Very valid to ask

      In 2006, a supermajority of the Senate, including the most powerful Democrats in the country, voted to construct hundreds of miles of hard barrier along the Southern Border. Can you explain why that wasn't "actual fascism," without extrapolating wildly about my larger "point"?

      Great, thanks for sharing your views. I'm not asking about you though, I'm asking about the most nationally prominent Democrats of the past 15 years.

      I love most of your takes, but the initial tweet is kinda misleading. "Why hasn't anyone..."? Tons of leftists have been criticizing Obama-era immigration policies for a long time. "Why haven't Dems?" because their morality is based on political convenience.

      I know that leftists have been much more consistent on this than establishment Dems, but establishment Dems increasingly espouse the traditionally leftist position, so I'm wondering what principle has guided this dramatic evolution.

      Well then I'd reiterate my answer of "Political convenience." For establishment Dems, when my guy does it, it's the rational extension of policy. When your guy does it, it's fascism. Same thing with drone strikes and tax cuts.

      Well, there you go then. They are framing political convenience as a genuine, principled shift.
