How you know the far left is full of BS: "Kids in cages"

One of the favorite subjects of the far left in the United States during the last year or two of Trump's presidency was the "kids in cages" at the detention centers along the southern border of the country. They were sooooo worried about this inhuman treatment and crime against humanity. Many called them "concentration camps" and equated Trump's administration to the Nazi party. They just couldn't shut up about it.

(Never mind that the detention centers existed for quite long before Trump became president and, quite ironically, many new detention centers were built during Obama's administration, and their role was greatly expanded. No such thing was done during Trump's presidency. His administration did pretty much nothing to change the situation "for the worse". Trump was still blamed for them, and the narrative was such that it gave the impression that the detention centers were created by Trump's administration.)

Now that Trump is no longer the president the situation at the southern border is orders of magnitude worse, because of the sheer amount of illegal immigrants crossing the border. For almost a year the situation has genuinely become almost inhumane, for the mere lack of resources and facilities.

So one would think that now more than ever all these leftist humanitarian warriors for human rights, who have empathy for the weak and oppressed, would keep the fight on, and organize campaigns an protests against the situation at the south border, and would constantly bring it up and make a ruckus about it.

Yet... pretty much not a beep. They just don't seem very interested in it anymore. Almost nobody on the left talks about it anymore, doesn't bring it up, doesn't even mention it, much less organize protests or throw tantrums online and on the streets about it.

Which just goes to show that they don't really give a flying fuck about the "kids in cages". Back during Trump's presidency it was just a useful tool for political rhetoric, a political weapon against Trump. But now that he's no longer in office, that weapon has no use anymore, so they have just forgotten about it. Discarded it. Moved to something else.

So much for their "empathy" for other people. So much for their "activism" to protect people's rights. The very second that some campaign loses its use in their political rhetoric, they just forget about it. They will feign humanitarian concerns only for as long as it's useful to them, as a weapon against their "enemies", or as a tool to gain power.

They are nothing but sociopathic opportunists.
