What do you call it when people are rounded up and sent to a gulag in El Salvador without due process? What do you call it when monies appropriated by Congress that literally kept starving people alive in other parts of the world, are unilaterally rescinded by an executive with no legal power to do so? The richest man in the world caused the deaths of some of the poorest in the world, and fulfilled not one of the benefits he promised.

What do you call it when people flood into a country without due process?

Due process is the wrong term. What you describe is called immigration. Sometimes immigration is illegal.

What do you call it when people supporting an authoritarian deflect to their pet issue because they think it owns the libs?

You don't get to ignore due process just because crimes are alleged. That's the whole fucking point of due process - to ascertain exactly what has happened and not just take some thug's word for it when they want to boost their arrest numbers.

USA? I don't see what this has to do with authoritarianism.

And if you look at the facts of what America is doing in the world, how many wars it has started and how many wars it supports in the last 50 years, and how many MILLIONS of INNOCENT people it has KILLED, RAPED and STARVED TO DEATH, then in comparison to this, sending a few people to El Salvador is non-existing problem, and big luck for this people, because they were dealing with USA and got away practically untouched. Gulag in El Salvador? Practically a weekend trip compared to what USA did to MILLIONS of non-usa-citizen around the globe.

Your reasoning is quite. That the U.S. has committed atrocities is not pertinant to whether or not it is becoming an authoritarian state. Please try to stay on point and not bring up irrelevant facts.
