ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data

They haven’t turned against their principles. Party is the principle. You’re just confused because you thought their stated principles were real.

I spent too much of the 90s listening to Rush Limbaugh and consuming other conservative media and the exact same contradictions were prominently on display then. They absolutely excoriated law enforcement for things like the Waco siege. The phrase “jack-booted thugs” got used. But when LAPD beat the shit out of Rodney King on video, suddenly police could do no wrong.

It's important to distinguish between their stated principles and their actually held principles. They are quite principled.

Most people understand this. We're just using fewer words because most people understand
