    Let’s appreciate the facts:

    And just like that he shits even more on decades of building US influence in the Middle East. As long as Bibi supports him I guess?

    This guy is a dangerous idiot. This was known in 2016, in 2020 and in 2024. WTF is wrong with a substantial amount of the US American population? Well, I do know the answer to that. It’s the same here even if the percentages are still lower.

      Combination of a large population of ass hats who will vote red no matter what, so long as the heathens on the left don’t win, and the corrupt DNC consistently shitting the bed on candidates, and Bidens senile ass not giving up the presidency early enough to show if Harris could have been a good president, which pretty much guaranteed a lot of people wouldn’t vote for her. She did nothing as VP (at least nothing that was reported on) and the cards were already stacked against her.

            Of course they are, we’re all hand-fed a fine-tuned slurry of propaganda from day 0. Some people have personal experiences or peculiarities that lead them to cut against the mainstream in one direction or another, but you and I are no more special than your average normie Liberal or bog-standard Conservative at some essential, Immaterial level. We just got lucky.

            Don’t get it in your head that you’re the Shepard standing tall over the herd, you’re just another sheep that happened to see past the slaughterhouse doors.

    I wonder how the Repubs I used to hear praise Trump for being “anti war” feel now that he’s shown his whole ass

      Difficult to know how they feel deep inside, but on the surface: dig their heels down even deeper. Claim they were for this all along. Attribute prophetic knowledge and foresight to dear leader. Necessity, not ideology. Etc.

      edit: and, worst of all, apparently it makes america great again to bomb other countries.

        Yeah, I can’t wait for my mom to figure out how to spin this one. She’s already hard on the “well we’re not AT WAR, so he’s still following his campaign promises” train.

            Hell even Ron Paul would’ve been a marked improvement because as crazy as that dude was, he stood on business with the anti war thing

              Ron Paul is a Confederate-nostalgic racist crackpot idiot. His phony libertarianism is even worse than the real thing, and the real thing is an economically illiterate cultish bag of simplistic bullshit.

                Yeah unfortunately there really are no heroes in this story, I just acknowledged that being principled on being anti-war is better than whatever Trump is doing tbh
