@EWErickson People talk about “the Deep State” like it’s a bad thing but this war would never happen in Trump 1.0 because we had people to stop Trump from doing dumb shit. Now they’ve been replaced by cowards who know it was a bad idea but were chosen because they will never tell Trump “No”
@hutchinson They simply have no shame. It would be mass delusion if they actually believed the words coming out of their mouths but they don’t. They are shamelessly lying.
@mysteriouskat In unrelated news, one of the co-authors of the bill, Justin Eichorn, has since been arrested for attempting to solicit a minor for sex.
@BigBlobApe@franzsherbert The GOP is no longer a Conservative Party. It’s more far right populist/nationalist now. Maybe even the “F word”. There are a few conservatives left but they keep their head down to avoid getting pushed out by MAGA. Ask your average Trumple. They fucking hate the neocons.
@cullenroche It’s more that 1 person doesn’t understand economics and he has a cult of followers who will attack anyone that disagrees. Also, the richest man in the world will fund primary challenges against those people. Most conservatives understand why is is dumb. They are just cowards.
@lavinia_colzani@EYakoby I don’t believe that she doesn’t know. She is lying to push a narrative. There’s a reason she named her podcast “bad faith” so that she can be as bad faith as she wants and claim “look, they did the meme” if anyone calls her out. Bri is too smart for this not to be an act.
@HarrisonSmokey@IrishAngel_PW@Acyn You’re right. Only libs do that. Principled conservatives only abandon their children over serious issues like being gay/trans or interracial marriage.
@RyGuyHii@WivesGuy@PermianCroaton@MattBruenig Well, you see… a bunch of Silicon Valley computer nerds funded a New York City real estate tycoon/Clinton donor to take over the Republican Party. He then replaced the entire party with loyalists and labeled every traditional conservative a RINO.
@Blackpilldbendr @LinkofSunshine After Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans mostly lost their appetite for war in the Middle East. Despite that, Trump very nearly got us into a war with Iran. It’s hard to imagine that if Trump had the same collective American bloodlust post-9/11, that he’d commit less war crimes.
@LinkofSunshine Leftists tend to be on the younger side. How many leftists do you know that think this and remember the Bush presidency? I’m mainly talking about regular people, not commentators like BJG or whoever.
@petite_michelle@NAFOndue They learned. That’s why Trump lost in 2020. The fact that he won again shows that they want this. You can say you were fooled in 2016 but not anymore. The only policies Trump talked about in his campaign were tariffs and mass deportation. Anyone who voted for him chose this.
@People4AGrnMvmt@Lyrics85@fairylilymyth@_carmen_dioxide The Green Party has no allies in Congress. If by some miracle a Green wins, how will they get anything done? Jill Stein was asked this question and she had no response. After running for a decade, the idea of governing didn’t even cross her mind. This is not a serious movement.
