What the hell are you talking about? Obama deported 3 million. Trump didn't deport even 10% of that.

The only reason you're rioting is because you don't like Trump. It's pure political violence, a.k.a. terrorism.

You're not protesting, you're rioting.

1) I’m in fact neither rioting nor protesting.

2) I had made this point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44248132

You seem to suggest the answer to my question there is that people just don’t like Trump. But can you really not distinguish the tactics they deployed, and how Trump’s tactics of maximum force might lead to greater resistance? When people are pushed they’re going to push back.

1) you're defending riots with all your might, you're trying to rebrand them as "protests" every opportunity you get.

2) You're always vague about the tactics. Specifically what is so horrible that Trump is doing that Obama has not done, when it comes to deportations / ICE raids? Be specific. And define "maximum force", while you're at it. The question is about deportations, not riots.

I also recommend you watch some news from the Obama era about ICE raids before answering that question, because I will call your bs out.
