When Southern officials began dropping off bus loads of illegal immigrants into New York City, which quickly became overwhelmed, my friends and I had the same response, which was this:

When Southern officials began dropping off bus loads of illegal immigrants into New York City, which quickly became overwhelmed, my friends and I had the same response, which was this:
Because there had been so much pathological lying from Trump and Crew in the GOP for the last nine years, whenever we heard "border crisis," the words just blurred into all the hateful speech about "other" that we heard every day. The orange boy cried wolf just too many times and we didn't know what to believe.
But when those buses came, we were awakened that there really was a border crisis. And personally, I thought the buses were a great move for these leaders to cut through the BS and just SHOW US what was happening.
I feel like I must sound terribly ignorant to have been so unaware of this surge, but I consider myself fairly well informed, and yet because of Trump's lies and because the MSM no longer knew how to report anymore, the border crisis story became an odd one for anyone living in these parts.
I appreciated the in-depth discussion about all of this, but I must admit, I was uncomfortable with how this woman opened, suggesting some kind of moral equivalency between the parties in how things have gone wrong. We know Democrats are far from perfect, but if someone is going to say something like that, you better be damn precise as to what you mean, and she wasn't.
After that comment, it took a lot for me to hang through this interview, and while I'm glad I did, I will NOT tolerate any kind of both-sidesisms because that feels like gaslighting... AGAIN. I learned a lot from this discussion, but once that red flag went up, my skin crawled throughout the whole talk as she had lost my trust right at the top
