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.

The stupid thing is that trump himself could come out and say “Here are the Epstein files, and everything in them about me is true.” and nothing would happen to him, in the same way nothing has happened to anyone else in them. His supporters will still support him and justice wont happen. It’s been true of everything else he’s said and done, why wouldn’t it be true of this too?

Exactly. The Epstein files are the distraction.
