> the other side actually has reasons that you haven’t bothered to consider?

Cool, like what reasons, for example? The reasons given in this press release are transparently pretextual.

then calling the other side liars because they disagree with your rhetoric

The POTUS has lied about immigrants since the moment he came down the escalator in 2015 and hasn't let up since.

From the old tired crime arguments of the past to outright bs (eating cats and dogs!).

Honestly I wish that was all he lied about, but nothing is sacred.

Such as?

> I don’t like this policy, but engaging in exaggerated rhetoric

The Trump admin just sent an official death threat to trans people and anti-fascists (lol??). I am so incredibly sick of people acting like this is ok and normal and any calling out is exaggerating. At some point, you're not defending sensible discourse, you're lecturing people for being upset when they have a murderous regime targeting them. It's a shitty thing to do. You're defending actual fascism at this point. And I'm happy to back up that claim without rhetoric by demonstrating the ways in which the US is (and has been) slipping into fascism for decades. Something tells me I'd be wasting my breath though.
