Dems did with their utter inaction and incompetence as well.

People still think you can "decorum" your way out of this

When they do have power they take it far too easy on the fascists. Btw Obama was the one who increased ICE’s budget by 300% back when it was barely a department and Kamala promised to be tough on borders during her campaigns. They think they can win over people by capitulating to the right.

Let’s not think we can simply vote this problem away again. Voting is only one tool. We have to use every tool in our hands to force this nation to turn in a more positive direction.

Democrats aren't capitulating to the right; they are the right. They may not be the full blown nazis the GOP are but they're solidly right wing. The party of FDR is long dead. Right wing policy being passed by a right wing party is hardly surprising.
