Not really. I never took the Democratic position to be that walls at the border are a terrible idea under all circumstances. That depiction mostly was an exaggeration of the pro-wall side, kind of like calling them pro open borders.
Democrats sure were vigorously opposed to Trump's idea of spending billions on building a wall across the whole border, and I suppose they still are.
What I do find ironic, honestly, is when Trump fans and other Conservatives now point out that Biden apparently could get something done the master negotiator could not. If Democrats indeed built a wall just like Trump promised, those Trump and wall endorsing people should be full of praise for them for getting results.
