At the same time I doubt the Harris admin would have given ice a blank check and started occupying American cities in year 1.

I agree, but she would be sure to facilitate the next Republican doing that by playing loudly into other xenophobic policies like the concentration camps, border wall, etc. and normalizing such an attitude to her constituents. She would pave the way to people doing just as bad and then doing worse, while Dems claim to be morally superior because they are a few steps behind while walking just as readily down the path to Hell.

I'm sympathetic to people who fall for this bullshit in the sense that I'm sympathetic to an abuse victim whose perspective was distorted, because that's literally what the Dems are. The Dems literally argue "We will hurt you and people you care about, but so with the GOP, so you not being hurt is off the table. Supporting us hurting you is reducing harm to you and if you don't support us, aren't you really the person hurting people?" There are no words for how disgusting it is.
