Do Americans still care about due process? Honest question. I have only been lightly following this El Salvador prison stuff and wondered what the Americans on here thought. I remember trying to describe the importance of due process to Philippinos when Duterte started rounding up people, and most didn’t care. They just wanted the streets “clean”. Duterte ended up being the most popular president of the modern era.

Saagar is arguing against due process here. All the libertarians who spent 4 years screaming about double standards and Hunter Biden are silent, as expected. I shudder to think how much of the US population shares this perspective. Truly a society in decline https://warpcast.com/marvp/0xcd6ed9df

Don’t know who these people are but after watching a couple of mins I had to put it down. If you don’t defend others getting disappeared by the government don’t expect anyone to defend you (because there won’t be anyone around).

Krystal and Saagar represent different parts of the political spectrum, and used to be able to consistently find common-sense middle ground, albeit with compromise here and there. @ryangrim and his co-host Emily have a similar left-right dynamic. Those days seem to be behind us now. Far, far behind us
