How come you didn't hear about the protests that did occur when Bush, Obama, and Biden all worked to advance the war on immigrants? I did.

I remember quite well when my primary news source, Democracy Now, referred to Obama as the "Deporter in Chief", while he was in office. For decades they've decried every administration's horrible human rights record.

Just because you didn't listen to the right people until now doesn't mean you need to kick yourself for only listening to corporate media like MNSBC and CNN, nor decry everyone else for the media takeover by plutocrats more interested in protecting their wealth and power than giving people news that makes the administration look bad.

A dam can hold back water for a long time, but once a crack forms, a small leak may become a flood. After decades of media suppression, you should expect something like this to break through.
