    Like… our main problem today is not guns and ships.

    The main problem is media, i.e. the propaganda system that keeps MAGAts happy to shoot themselves in the foot.

      The Conservative Propaganda Machine.

      Before this is over, it will have to dealt with as the National Security Threat it is.

      But you are the media in this world. Everybody here is generating media everyday. Traditional media was replaced with Facebook and Twitter and reddit. How many leftist removed themselves from there? Is it any surprise that the whole world seems like it’s using right wing talking points anymore. The left fucked themselves and most still don’t get what has happened here

      keeps MAGAts everyone happy to shoot themselves in the foot.

      Imagine living through the last 30 years and honestly thinking you weren’t voting for your own decimating because you picked the blue fascist team. Obama had all the power he needed to stop the WoT, the Patriot Act, the militarization of police, and the corruption of Wall Street in its tracks, but nope.

      Instead he laid down the fascist asphalt so Donald could joyride.

        The ruling stating that presidents have complete immunity from persecution for acts taken in the official capacity as president, in which the judges made it clear that could even include assassinating political rivals, did not pass during Trump’s administration.

        It passed during Biden’s administration. The Supreme Court basically told him “you can assassinate Trump and nothing would happen to you.” He didn’t even pursue him for persecution.

        Democrats are not just useless, they’re complicit.

        We’re not there yet, man, give it another year or so, maybe another Dem admin? lol. They’ve been playing good cop/bad cop for idk how long and these people keep falling for it! Despite Obama droning his way into a Peace Prize, and imperialist moves made regardless of which color is leading the nation, they still think they can ‘vote blue’ their way out of it. And at this point in America, voting is just virtue signalling. 🤷
