You’re right it wouldn’t exist right now if Trump hadn’t won, but Democrats don’t have a good record of closing shit like this, either. Guantanamo Bay was supposed to be closed when Obama got elected, Republicans were responsible for that one too.

Right. Dems maybe wouldnt have opened this but they won't close it either.

That's how the two arms of the oligarch party work together. The republicans pass things that are unpalatable, and dems make sure these things become institutionalized.
