“The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. They’re even acting like they didn’t exist,” he said, before moving on to his other grievances. “And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.”
Mitchell added, “Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game; he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.”
“Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.”
Helping Ukraine destroy the top US enemy while not losing men is probably the beat deal US ever had, this argument is BS. Remember, Trump is a problem/in power because of Russia, and Russia will do everything to keep destroying US from the inside out. Israel is fully understandable, but this guy no longer supports Trump because of helping Ukraine? Fuck off
I mean, people voting for Trump thinking he’d put America first probably aren’t the brightest to begin with, and International Relations can be complex enough even for the educated.
We have the benefit of access to news and information and a host of knowledgeable people to help us understand why putting a damper on Russian military confidence is a valuable objective, whether the efforts in Ukraine are achieving that and how supporting them is a worthwhile investment.
If he’s stuck in a bubble with nobody to lay all of that out for him, figuring out that Ukraine is a good deal is a tall order.
(That, by the way, is why I think the Humanities need to be taught more. I don’t think the above is hard to understand if someone points out the connections and historical precedents, provided you have the basic education to understand how those mechanisms work.)
but if we start teaching people critical thinking skills they might not make nice compliant factory workers
Who needs factory workers anymore. Soon it will all be AI and robots
