Oh yeah to be clear I do not think it will change the math on Gaza that much. I meant all of the issues generally, but immigration is the main one I think Trump is actually the lesser evil on.

Biden deported more people than Trump. They’ve managed to actually implement Trump’s immigration policy, which when Trump attempted to do he was unable to, due to opposition from both Dem politicians and the general public. I think Dems have greater freedom to be strict on immigration than Republicans do, because when Dems do it everyone falls in line.

    Yeah fair on immigration especially. I have doubts that Trump would be able to ram through some of the policies that Biden has gotten through, especially if Democrats take control of the house.

    ETA: I generally have the opinion that Trump winning and the Democrats taking control of the house is the "best" thing that could happen, but I have zero faith that anything will change foreign-policy wise no matter who wins this election.

    When it worked for "we actually built the wall that Trump promised", why wouldn't that repeat with "we actually did the mass deportations that Trump called for"? Lesser evilism doesn't work either way, things get worse from legislature to legislature under either party. Republicans are more adapt at pushing boundaries, Democrats are more adapt at technocratic efficiency. These things are not at odds with each other, they tie into each other and are both part of the same machinery.
