okay?
Ask yourself: What would Benji do?
Would Benji sit idly by when one party completely flip flops on something simply because someone else proposed the idea?
Republicans loved Romneycare. When it became Obamacare, they flipped. They should be called out.
Prominent liberals supported the wall, until Trump did. They should be called out.
Prominent liberals opposed imperialist foreign intervention, but are now throwing a fit because Trump is withdrawing from Syria. They should be called out.
It's called having fucking morals and not looking at politics like a game of godamn beer pong
So the secure fence act of 2006 was passed. And the fence was built. Assessments since then have shown the fence is regularly circumvented and/or walked around and is not really effective.
But you’re argument is a combination of:
1) the border wall funding is actually the exact same bill that was passed in 2006, so you are a hypocrite for not passing continuing to support a bill that is the exact same thing as the thing you already made into a law.
2) if you supported some fencing in 2006, you must now support unlimited fencing or walls in 2018, even after studies have shown that the fencing you previously supported didn’t really work
Is it perhaps possible, that a politician might have a nuanced opinion that say something like: I previously supported fencing around the most vulnerable parts of the border but do not support a 2000 mile wall today because one of:
- studies have shown existing fencing wasn’t effective
- I think the existing fencing is currently adequate
