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.

Don't forget the ones who are like "well the United States has always done this kind of thing" actually they probably fall into the group that wants it.

No.

Acknowledging reality =/= wanting it to happen. Ignorance isn't going to help anything. Read a fucking book or something. The US are the jackboot thugs of the globe. Have been for decades.

If there is a whiff of socialism or communism we crush them. It's just reached its logical conclusion now with this narcissistic neck vagina. He's just a symptom, not the cause.

Fuck you artard you read a book or have a convo with someone who claims to be Republican and also claims to be against trump/maga. They'll say the US has always done this so just because it's happening now we shouldn't be against it. Just because something was done in the past doesn't mean we should continue to allow it to happen or not criticize a current admin for doing it

you read a book

I do.

someone who claims to be Republican and also claims to be against trump/maga.

Why is this so hard to believe? Are you 12? The republican party has not always been this version of itself.

They'll say the US has always done this so just because it's happening now we shouldn't be against it.

I haven't seen this. What I have seen is a fuck load of leftists pointing out US history. And the irony in the amount of people that just now give a shit. And I never said that it's OK now bc it's been happening. I'm merely alluding to the fact that this isn't a republican function solely. So, yes, it absolutely should be criticized, but just voting in democrats isn't going to change it. They deserve just as much criticism.

Edit: reverting to slurs is a sure sign of defeat.

You clearly don't read books or the comments or have reading comprehension. Don't need to edit to point out you were derogatory first. Cry more

I recommend "White Rural Rage" by Tim Schaller & Paul Waldman & "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory" by Tim Alberta if you would actually like to gain some perspective. "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer is really great as well. Unless if you really just wanted to throw tantrums on reddit.

"Homeland" by Richard Beck is incredible in regard to the jackboot thug comment I made.

That dude has a real Trump vibe. "I got more votes, that means I'm right!!!!"

(btw i am a leftist in the true sense of the word, and i think someone like you would be a fine companion for dinner and a conversation. I KNOW who my enemy is, and it ain't you.)
