That phrase isn't meant to be taken literally. It's an old way to say Congress is very corrupt.

And no, conservative "actors" do not want the government to fail. Which party was it, again, who wants ICE to stop doing its job?

You mean the job of terrorizimg the communities? ICE is law breaking unaccountable violent group. Yes, it is ok to want them to stop. It is proper role of government to protect rights of people and to stop roque agencies.

And yes, conservatives do want the government to fail. They are actively working on it.

Third, I did not said congress is "corrupt". As of now, the most corrupt are president, those around him and supreme court. Republicans in congress are acting in bad faith.

So you want the government to fail at the things you want it to fail at, yet you're trying to project that onto conservatives?

Good lord. You actually think the president and SCOTUS are more corrupt than Congress? Amazing.

There's an important distinction between wanting the government to fail, and wanting the government to cease violating civil liberties en masse.

There is a false dichotomy being manufactured/astroturfed by Republicans that the only choice is between the current Star-spangled Gestapo and unrestricted, mass illegal immigration.

In actual fact there is a broad spectrum of approaches between those two.

ICE is doing no such thing. They're trying to do their job. Law enforcement, you know, what the state is supposed to be doing?

There's no Star-spangled Gestapo. That's just fever dreams on your part. And the reason we're here is because the Democrats facilitated and even encouraged mass illegal immigration.

And there are a lot of hapless pawns of large corporations rioting against ICE. Probably the same people who wonder why pay hasn't kept up with inflation.
