    Why is Biden such a warmonger?

    This is clearly the Dems fault.

    What was Obama doing during 9-11?

    I don’t think there are any voters besides military contractors and politicians who are in favor of these wars. No one wants to spend our hard earned money blowing up a bunch of starving homeless people on the other side of the ocean.

    A constant state of war is essential to fascism.

    The reality is, there will eventually be a draft. Will Americans stand for it? Probably.

    Africa, Asia, and South America

    So we are not counting North-America, where the ICE raids continue then?

    It’s crazy to me that anybody can see this old washed up orange piece of shit and think, yeah, I’d follow that guy’s orders.

      I know someone who has never cared about a non-american before but thinks the Iran war is justified because “those people were killing thousands of protesters”. This person also normally doesn’t speak highly of any protester I’m aware of.

        Same with Cuba right now. The US claims to be concerned about Cuba’s democratic deficits and human rights violations. All while ignoring their own democratic backsliding and ICE’s gestapo-like racial cleansing of the population.

        I’m convinced that MAGA is attracting many people who live a rough life. Poorly educated, resentful, low income people whose attention is fixed on the next paycheck and the cost of groceries. Again and again, I see that many of them seem to view society as a zero sum game. Meaning “if those foreign looking people get punished now, I will surely be better off next month, right???”

        The problem is systemic. I blame the chronic failure of political education across the country. Because of that, I do not expect meaningful political change unless it is triggered by some kind of major rupture, crash, or shock.

      Yeah, right? It must be things he’s deeply ashamed of. I’ve never seen him work so consistantly hard on a single topic before.
