This kind of offhand dismissal sometimes makes sense, but sometimes there are actually dark and malevolent forces at work. Which is true this time?

I dunno but alot of things could be described in this way, not just the stuff that sits outside left-wing orthodoxy.

For example, opening a border to illegal migrants in record-breaking numbers, to ultimately sway the voter demographics in your favour, is an incredible betrayal of democracy. Not to mention at the cost of 300 fentanyl deaths a day. These things could be described as dark and malevolent too.

The border is not open? The huge fence is still there? Illegal immigrants can't vote, can they?

The difference is that thanks to court documents, we know the truth in this case, and we know that they knew the truth even while lying.

What you are describing is not true, and any and all court documents do and would demonstrate that. Whether you are aware of the truth or not isn't clear to me, so I don't know whether you are knowingly lying, like the Fox News hosts in this case, or ignorantly spreading false information.

What are you talking about?

They ain't illegal once the border is open buddy.

By getting so many more roads built in the desert at the southern border of the USA to ferry stuff for building a little bit of wall, the president that's most helped illegal immigration is Donald Trump. He's also helped trucking drugs around, but this is less surprising considering the way that man is.

Who is opening the borders? Citations please. I know the Libertarian party is pro-open borders. I don't think it's for demographics in their favor, whatever that dog whistley phrase means.

I had no idea that you "don't think it's for demographics in their favor". This completely discredits the idea that politicians might consider the electoral impact of decisions they make (or intentionally dont make). And you've used a buzzword like "dog-whistley" which makes your argument twice as powerful.

The Libertarian Party has never seemed too particularly concerned with favorable demographics.
