Oh you sweet summer child, you still don't pay attention to actions instead of words? Gitmo can be closed by executive order, and can be emptied by executive order. Obama didn't close it, didn't even try. He could've done it day one, or at least not interred new prisoners... But gitmo hit max capacity and stayed there under his term.

As far as abu graihb, it's existence was explicitly allowed due to Dems. It wasn't a rogue executive, it was explicitly allowed under the patriot act. Along with the hundreds of other black sites across the world where civilians were held and tortured without charge in the name of us national security.

And back to lgbtq, the group Dems actively hated on the federal level until scotus used a loophole to legalize gay marriage and it became profitable for companies to market to that demo. No, of course they don't deserve to die, but the smart ones already have a second citizenship and jumped ship in the Clinton era when Congress was debating whether to make sodomy a federal crime. The real smart ones are still in the closet given the US governments continued hostility towards minorities.

But for those either too brave for too stupid to meta game that deeply, I sincerely hope they head to Canada and try to catch a boat to the EU as soon as possible. But my advice for them hasn't changed in thirty years so maybe you aren't going to count that sincerely as you seem to think the US was ever safe for non white non cis non straight non men.

That was literally attempted by Obama, and stopped by interference outside of the executive branch.

That's not even close to true, holy shit. Are you this misinformed, or just making things up?

Do you... do you actually know what is in the PATRIOT Act?

You mean the same Clinton who tried to lift the ban on LGBT folk serving in the military? Who ran on lifting that ban? Those were the Dems who were 'actively' hating LGBT folk on the federal level?

Where were they jumping to, by the way? Perhaps China was welcoming LGBT refugees?

But for those either too brave for too stupid to meta game that deeply, I sincerely hope they head to Canada and try to catch a boat to the EU as soon as possible.

Ah, yes, "The US has never been safe for minorities; therefore, greenlighting genocide is Literally No Change"

What brave theories they teach leftists in the university of 'online games of telephone'.

I dunno I think we might have a GRU intern here. Full of piss and vinegar and maybe some meth.
