I don’t get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They’re not being mature or practical - they’re accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.
Trump and his supporters aren’t better, but at least he’s telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.
I dunno, at least there’s a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he’s done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it’s just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.
And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It’s like they want to lose, because all I’m hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it’s like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.
It’s just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.
I think you underestimate the size of the genocide constituency
The conservative portion of that constituency doesn’t like their money going to Israel though. Only their reps do.
Conservatives don’t apply their anti-tax ideology to military spending, if a policy kills non-white people it automatically has their support
Not from what I’ve experienced. It’s only good when their guys do it.
Pretty much this. When Trump is in the WH again, his supporters will be clapping like seals when he hands the first blank checks to Israel, Ukraine etc., while the libs will be the ones calling for this spending to stop.

Let’s not kid ourselves, his foreign policy is not that good
At most, Trump being a de facto NATO leader would have slowed down aid given to Ukraine, but that’s the most I’d expect to see.
Nah, Trump being NATO leader would have just shifted the burden more towards Europe than it already was. Making useless grandstanding arguments against Donald Trump was like, every EU leaders favorite action during his presidency.
This is true. Individuals rarely make massive differences. There’s actually a type of rap song that explains this very well. It’s describing drug dealing dynamics more, but war profiteering fits the profile. Songs about being a drug dealer (war monger) making big moves and all the money while contributing to the destruction of their community, but also knowing that they are disposable and if they die another person will just replace them. Drug dealing is a desperation thing, so it’s a different situation, but I’d definitely compare war mongers to drug dealers in how they’re important to the community, yet ultimately damaging more than they help.
Kissinger is the ultimate example. Kissinger may have been the American death dealer, but in the mind of Americans, he was still important and good because we really could have gotten worse. I never quite feared Kissinger, he was ultimately a profiteer above everything else, as such he was predictable. I fear the guy who idolizes Kissinger and replaces him in the world, without understanding how calculated Kissinger was. Kissinger is pretty much one of the only people in history where you can assume anything that happened because of him was fully intentional. He was pretty much every bad thing you could say about him, but he already knew that shit. Maybe I’m just odd, but I’ll always pick a competent sociopath against a completely unhinged idiot. Kissinger was going to fuck up lives and it’s unavoidable, but at least he won’t fuck up everybody’s life. I bet Kissinger’s sequel is going to be an emotional war hawk that will fuck up everybody’s life on the planet. We’re going to see the US declare war on some nation in South America or Mexico soon.
But anyways, here are the two songs I think of when thinking of this. Sure there are more like this, but these are great songs.
Ice-T - New Jack Hustler
Freddie Gibbs - Thuggin (This is the single version, not the studio recording)

It’s not, but if the only two candidates are both genocidal imperialists how can you call the US a democracy? Do you realize this bad cop good cop routine is by design?
well it’s not a democracy…
Then don’t get so worked up about which voters to blame for the superficially “worse” result
lol
Yes exactly, therefore getting mad at voters is falling for the theater instead of rejecting it
can you even experience joy anymore? or is it all reaction memes on the inside?
I have no clue what you mean cracker
Laughing at you does bring me joy
Don’t call them that, they will report us to the Blahaj mods for anti white racism

Gotcha, just vibes then, got it 👍
Why would he give weapons to Russia? For what possible reason? And why would he invade Palestine, I mean if he wants them gone he would just have to do what Biden is doing, maybe throw a drone at the UAE to get Ismail Haniyeh
hyperbolic
normally i think we’re too hard on the liberals who wander in from the lemmyverse from time to time but it’s really hard to maintain sympathy for them when they straight up admit to just making shit up and still wanting to be taken seriously
i ain’t no filthy, stinking liberal
You believe in Nazi conspiracy theories but with Jews crossed out and Russians written in, you are indeed a lib
well that’s fine, because i don’t believe whatever the hell you’re pretending like i believe in.
Pick one
A true
moment if I’ve ever seen one.
yawn it the fuck up
Lmao weak
so boring
Lmao even weaker
oh you mean “made up”
no i don’t
God you’re pathetic, had your brain melted by MSNBC in 2016 and it somehow keeps getting worse
yawn
blue maga at its finest
So you admit the entire comment is just making shit up. At least we agree that far, but it makes me wonder why you would bother writing it. When I say Hillary would have invaded Iran, it’s not hyperbole, it was a literal campaign promise from her directly.
And that makes what’s happening now okay in your mind?
no, wtf?
Then why bother with the counterfactual?
is that really the only thing you can imagine?

Kkkrakkker
Okay cracker
That would be so hype if there was an anti-American president who armed all of America’s enemies. Too bad Trump isn’t that
Hey aren’t you the dude who got butthurt about being called a cracker? Back for more I see?
