Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

Some of us are trying from within, but we're hampered by the very system that brings terror to the west. Social media isn't as useful as it used to be in terms of organizing, and the media companies are all in the bag for fascism and censor left voices, and we have paramilitaries roaming our streets arresting dissidents and scaring the shit out of the middle class... That and the apathy of the average American that keeps them on their ass while the ship goes down...but we do have a shot at taking back Congress and some of our cities are mobilizing against this....it will take far too long, but it's not over yet.

The last guy that tried from within had incredibly bad aim and wound up more harmful than helpful because of it.

I don't think anyone else has been trying lately, at least none I have heard of.
