As much as people bitched about Trump trying to "erase Obama's legacy," Biden has gone a lot further and faster in reversing Trump-era policies yet... not a peep!

Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, it's not about "erasing legacies" or any similar pointless attribution of glory to basic government work, and instead about doing good/bad things to the country? Nobody cares about those specific aspects of Obama's legacy for the sake of preserving a legacy, they care about it because they feel those were good changes and that undoing them is a step backwards. Similarly, reversing harmful Trump-era policies is felt to be a good thing, and the complete worthlessness of the concept of "Trump's legacy" means that legacy's preservation doesn't even factor into that value judgement.

It only looks hypocritical if you treat politics like cheering for your favourite football team. Pay any attention at all to the practical reality of the matter, and that impression falls apart immediately.

I mean really for Obama his biggest legacy was Obamacare and that was mostly because that caught on as a term for it. Most presidents don't have a huge legacy attached to a huge project or change. I have a feeling if Obamacare never caught on then it would have been not tied to Obama as much.

The GOP spent years after Trump was elected trying and failing to replace Obamacare, it's truly pathetic

Is that before or after the military marches Biden off to prison and Trump is rightfully reinstalled as president?

Build a wall out of broken/old TVs.

Dig a moat in front of the wall (our side).

Fill the moat with Gators!!!

Place Barbed wire in front of the moat that is electrified. (the wire, not the moat)

Place land mines in front of the barbed wire.

Patrol the wall/moat and give bonuses for each person shot.

Insure the patrollers are not dumb enough to cross over to where the land mines are.

Profit!!

I know youre joking wolfy but landmines hopefully are never used again in any war. They just sit there and then decades later end up blowing up when some kids are playing.

Hmmm, ok, I guess we have to put em on their side then:)

Wait...they could dig em up and throw em at the wall though.

Sigh, fine, no land mines.

Stupid history:(

To be fair, Anarcho-Capitalists are generally far right.

Lefty anarchists tend to be more Anarcho-Syndicalist or Anarcho-Communist.

Anarchism as a concept crosses the divide, because it's a methodology more than an ideology.

That's why we need to dig trenches and use mustard gas instead, obviously.

Ehhh, not really. If anything it was more symbolic than useful

But at least Joe (or whoever's running the country) hasn't ordered it to be torn down.. maybe when we elect a leader who actually cares about immigration it can be continued

Yeah! That'll stop people from crossing legally at regular border points and overstaying their visas!
