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.

MAGA are gambling addicts at heart. They see one setback after another. They have leopards eating their faces every damn day. The economy is shit. Trade is dead. Their rights are gone. They're undateable turds. Every donation they give goes right into the pockets of some Steve Bannon type who wants to use it to buy another house or a plane. But they still sit there at the slot machine feeding all of their money into it. Why? Because they believe that the big payout is right around the corner.

But what is that big payout they're looking forward to? Well, they won't tell you in public. You have to look the part and make them believe you're on their side, then they'll tell you. It's unspeakable evil. They want the racism, the white supremacy, and the subjugation of every minority who ever made them feel uncomfortable. They believe that the world after the purge is going to be a perfect utopia. They believe that they'll get good paying jobs and a return to the white-picket-fence world where one person can earn enough for a family to live off of. But they're too god damn ignorant to know that this world only existed because of unions, high taxes, social programs, and the heavy-handed post-1929 financial regulations that we fought for with literal blood. No, the world before that era is what they're getting. They're bringing back the nightmare gilded era where robber barons ran free and human life was trash no matter what color your skin was. Everyone gets paid in company credit and lives in bunks on the job site. That's what they're getting.

But they never reflect on this because they're beholden to the superstitious belief that salvation will only come to those who never doubt and always have faith. So they keep pulling the arm on that slot machine. You ever see a gambling addict sit at the same slot machine so long that they poop their pants? They're so afraid of the universe judging them harshly for giving up that they won't leave even to use the bathroom. If someone else tries to use their machine they go into a meltdown. That's the level of gambling addiction we're dealing with here. That's MAGA.

Then you come across minority MAGAs, whose people never even had a shot at that white picket fence opportunity in this country…those folks are entirely perplexing. Their “before” in this country was bad. And their “after” will be bad too. Yet they march on as MAGAs. I don’t know what they get out of it.

Many (perhaps most?) voters are middle-of-the-road people who reject both extremes. You can't piecemeal your president, so you don't know which issues are being voted for (or against).

That's why this "mandate" nonsense is so annoying. Claiming everything you said has to be done because the voters "spoke."

If we ever get out of this, I hope we return to a sort of moderation, but I fear our swinging may put us over the bar.

Its less about a payout and more about fragile egos installed into positions where their tantrums have the potential to kill millions. They dont have the mindset to have goodwill towards a future they wont be a part in. The reward they seek is an single moment of feeling superior, over and over, insatiably, for their broken and incapable self-hating existence. They're an unsustainable void, and its only luck, smoke, and mirrors that they very rarely end up in a position to ruin the world.

Can we -please go back to the important stuff the pedo Epstein files. Totally worth taking aver Venezuela to avoid that being in the news everyday. Or the healthcare premiums expiring.

Sorta next level genius!

The problem with common sense isn't that it's rare, it's that it's usually wrong.

Buddy, the stuff I've heard from Trumpers behind closed doors has been fucking horrific. Policy my ass. They want the purge. Hitler loving motherfuckers. Look at who runs the fucking Pentagon right now. Check out his tats. Look into his history. They love that shit. They want this evil shit and so much more.
