Ukraine - Trump all but openly supports Russia. Democrats dont.
NATO - Trump and republicans are intentionally trying to dismantle it. Democrats dont.
Russia - Republicans admire what Russia stands for. Democrats dont.
And the claim that parties are the same on immigration is beyond absurd too. Yes they are fully easily distinguishable. It does not mean that Democrats are like the caricature conservatives make with "anything goes" policies. Just because they are not in complete extreme does not mean they are the same. And they were definitely not creating the "you can arrest people on their skin color alone" philosophy conservatives use.

What is different in Ukraine now vs under Biden? The war hasn't ended. We haven't stopped supplying Ukraine.
The US was always going to support Ukraine no matter who was in office at the time the war started. The only reason you heard noise from the Republicans against it was because Russia invaded when Biden was in office. That's literally it.
> NATO - Trump and republicans are intentionally trying to dismantle it. Democrats dont.
How exactly? Trump has forced NATO members to spend more on their military (~2% GDP, as per the NATO charter). NATO expansion into the former Warsaw bloc countries began under Clinton, continued under Bush and kept going under Obama. There's no difference here.
> Russia - Republicans admire what Russia stands for. Democrats dont.
I don't really care about rhetoric. People say things. It doesn't mean a lot. Not compared to what they do anyway. It's a bit like Erdogan in Turkey waving his fist in the air saying "I'm so mad at you, Israel". Is he actually? No. Turkey could collapse Israel's economy overnight if they really wanted to.

Assuming we have elections again and assuming Democrats try to win a presidential election (they did not try to win 2024) and assuming we get another Democratic administration, watch what they roll back of Republican policy. Historically, it's been very little.
Remember Trump's 2017 tax cuts? What of that got rolled back? The Democrats held the House, Senate and the White House for Biden's first 2 years. They could've claimed they needed to to pay for COVID economic relief.
Bush created ICE in 2003. Remember how Obama disbanded ICE? Oh wait, Biden disbanded ICE? Oh wait... And it's not like disbanding ICE is a new idea. It's not.
The job of the Democrats is to use the idea of defending institutions as an excuse to do nothing.
> What is different in Ukraine now vs under Biden? The war hasn't ended. We haven't stopped supplying Ukraine.
What is different is that USA did actually stopped supporting Ukraine entirely for months. What also happened is that USA negotiated with Putin only, consistently putting Ukraine at disadvantage in those pretend peace deals. What also happened was that USA was giving Putin everything he wanted both in appearance and reality. What was also different was naked attempt to extort Ukraine and give them noting while giving their territory to Russia while demanding they give minerals to USA in exchange of "protection".
The approach and support in this completely is completely different from before. Biden mistake was to disallow attacks on Russian territory before Trump could take over and turn toward Russia he and his people admire so much.
> Trump has forced NATO members to spend more on their military
Trump made NATO members not believe USA will hold their part of the agreement. Trump lied about NATO and NATO members. I mean, others already helped America in their war and Trump clearly said he wont reciprocate.
> NATO expansion into the former Warsaw bloc countries began under Clinton, continued under Bush and kept going under Obama. There's no difference here.
Yes, eastern countries wanted to go to NATO, lobbed a lot and gained the security they craved.
> People say things. It doesn't mean a lot.
It does mean a lot, actually.
Funny, ICE was not doing pure racial profiling it is doing now. Pretending things are the same under both administration is just pure lie.
