President Donald Trump said, "I don't know," when asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether he must uphold the Constitution to execute his deportation strategy.
Doesn’t even know the presidential oath he pledged.
the world is not binary. there are many people who bare part of the responsibility:
the republican party - all of them
republican voters
the democratic party
no-voters (who didn’t want to “support genocide” and now you have a worse genocide and a bunch of other horrible shit including a shit load of extra war crimes in ukraine for the foreseeable future)
the media
these and many more can have played a part all at the same time
it’s worth calling out all on their own because it surfaces a specific problem… just saying “billionaires ruin everything” isn’t helpful, because it simply shifts blame to a nebulous concept that’s further removed from everyday people
There used to be laws to force news stations to be bipartisan and show both sides.
Copypasta:
The “Fairness Doctrine,” which once required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues, was eliminated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1987.
Most of them now seem to follow a fucked-up interpretation of the Fairness Doctrine that requires them to always give the impression that there are no meaningful differences between the parties, which translates into painting Republicans as a perfectly normal, reasonable political party.
I’m mad at the Democrats for under signing a genocide thus disaffecting their would be voters.

The media is largely controlled by billionaires and thus republicans by association.

also, following orders is no excuse
That’s valid.
