Sure, except for these two very different responses.

You don’t get to change the course of history or the narrative simply because you have blind hatred for someone.

Response number one is comparing it to a holocaust and the mass murder of millions of Jews.

Response number two is comparing it to a Four Seasons Hotel & complaining that the room is not up to your standards.

No it's not.

Not it's not either.

Also.... if we're going chronologically, their response #2 is actually #3.

The one I posted above would be #2.

But they're trying to support their meme portraying AOC as laughing about the situation now, so including the part where she denounced it would obviously run counter to that narrative.

Yes it is.

Yes it is, too.

Exactly. If she was really concerned, she'd be filming herself looking through a fence and bawling like the drama queen she is.

1. Was she filming herself?
2. Expecting equal outrage now after however many months it's been seems legit on the surface but idk... It's kinda like... still expecting shock and horror over mass shootings in America.
3. AOC is bae and how dare you.
:P

Well, I'm sure "bae" wasn't holding the camera herself. But the assertion reporters with camera crews coincidentally showed up at the parking lot at that precise time is as believable as saying they magically sprouted out of the parking lot pavement.

Is that what she claims happened?

No telling what she'd claim. Pretty sure that depends on the which way the wind blows.

From what I read photographers/ camera crews went to the child detention center because there was a protest there involving hundred(s)of people and it was before AOC was even in office. And neither the press nor the protesters were allowed in the facility though, so they were stuck outside the fence. The photographer who took the pictures posted them a year after taking them.

Response #1
Conditions there are horrible according to analysis.

Response #2
Conditions there are still horrible. Here are possible solutions which might improve them.

Not exactly the "flip-flop" your crying and then laughing meme above portrays.

Response 1: CONCENTRATION CAMP!! BRUTALITY!!! DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response 2: Facility. Needs some improvement.

Why do I think Orange Man Bad was a factor in this?

Maybe because his "zero-tolerance" policy was what made the separation of kids from families possible..

Maybe she is somewhat optimistic considering Biden created a task force which apparently has found at least 100 of their parents...

Maybe because he was an asshole..

Maybe all of the above.

In any case I like how the complaint here seems to essentially be "not enough outrage" the second time around.

Protecting children from adult predators is a good thing.

Why do you think there is a surge at the border? Possibly every single dem running saying they were for free healthcare for illegals and jumping the border isn't wrong?

But yeah, sorry you can't see the difference of someone stepping into line for political favor.
1 up, 4y
Agreed. Especially alien predators. ;P and Biden is reuniting them.. how dare he.

There's quite often an increase in migrants at the border this time of year.. plus covid numbers going down.. plus free Biden T-shirts... America becoming great again in general. :)

My response to the shooting which followed Columbine was also not equal to my response to it.... I don't even remember what it was. School shootings are still not ok. Selective outrage?

Once a permanent lie is created it can't be destroyed.

This "example" will surely be used in the future... Like the memes about how Biden ruint America after only 2 months in office citing gas prices as one of the "examples" of it.

Hey, if we had to spend a year hearing about Trump telling people to inject bleach...
1 up, 4y,

He was talking about injecting a disinfectant to fight covid.

As far as I know he didn't specify "bleach"..... but bleach does work as a disinfectant.

No, he asked a question of a health professional. Then that question got spun into 'Trump told people to'
1 up, 4y,

I think he was mostly floating an idea... and kind of looked like a moron in the process.. (as well as a danger to anyone dumb enough to try it).. and eventually he realized this so he went on to try and cover his tracks by stupidly claiming he was asking the question... to reporters.... (allegedly) out of sarcasm.

"But it does kill it, and it would kill it on the hands, and that would make things much better. That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters."
-Donald @ Press briefing 4/24

Right........ because the president asking the press sarcastic questions about injecting disinfectant TOTALLY makes sense 2 months into a pandemic.
1 up, 4y
I give you that. Trump's spin was pathetic, when he could have just said he was just asking a question. But anyone that would buy the spin that he told people to drink bleach and do it, wins the Darwin award and I have little sympathy.

Oh yes. I've seen it. So much outrage! Still big difference in her responses. This time it is much worse

That moment when dems don't understand holding someone to their standards. No trip down now huh? No photo op next to an empty parking lot?
0 ups, 4y,

Had she said nothing, y'all would cry about double standards. She says it's still not ok, never was, never will be, and offer possible solutions and y'all cry anyway.

Why would she take a trip down to the border to film herself in empty parking lot?? Is that another one of those facts the liberal media isn't telling me about?
0 ups, 4y
Empty parking lots only exist in El Paso and the Liberal media won't even say a word about it!!
Lol

It appears there is no end to your excuses for democrats. As far as outrage, hey, we're just comparing the precedence the left has set. This is where hypocrisy sets in.

She was against it before and she's still against it now.

Possibly the weakest "gotcha moment" in recent history... Oh sorry I mean THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Really? You try so hard. You know it isn't the same. When it was trump in office that was her hot button. Always on twitter talking about it. Now...she maybe said something once...no mentions on it and super quiet on twitter. I don't give a crap abt any amount of "outrage" someone gives. But you gotta be able to compare how people react. The truth is, this is far worse then anyone has seen.
0 ups, 4y,

The difference is literally the amount of outrage though. Even you are comparing the number of tweets.

And speaking of comparing the reaction, I would always expect the initial reaction to be greater than the reaction to the same thing 3 years later. I said this elsewhere but basically I see it like Columbine in a way.. everyone was shocked and horrified and remembers that.. but who even remembers the second major school shooting? I had to Google it.. hbu?
0 ups, 4y,

No i don't know the one after Columbine. The left is all about the idea that if you're silent then you're for it. Or you aren't causing an uproar then you're part of the problem. Truth is, she is quiet about it because it wouldn't be great for her career politically if you speak up against your party. Sorry. I think you're just working hard to make excuses. I would think no less of you based on your party you identify with if you decided to speak out against your party. It doesn't discount everything, just the you disagree. I disagree with plenty on the republican side.

Well I don't really speak for "the left's" ideas or what they're all about but she clearly denounced it and pondered possible solutions. I mean if nothing gets done, she continues remaining relatively mum, and the situation remains the same as it is now (like she essentially looked the other way) then ok it would seem hypocritical.. (Assuming repubs don't somehow block efforts)
