And by “Apocalypse now” they mean illustrating it with a scene where American soldiers massacre civilians.

      No, that’s not hyperbole

      “Chicago [is] about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” the post continued.

        Are all the people who couldn’t be bothered to vote happy now? Do they still think the democrats would have been just as bad?

          You actually think those people watch the news and get accurate information? Misinformed people are always going to learn the wrong lesson.

            I am finding lately the news isn’t talking about what I want it to talk about ie. The impending hostile invasion of Chicago. Also barely heard about the protests on labor day and am barely hearing about the concentration camps.

          Some of them very much seem to be. I still hear ding-a-lings bitching about Biden (vague complaints that don’t really name any single thing other than he wasn’t in front of the cameras all the time like our narcissist in chief is these days and that he’s old - but fuck, Taco is old as fuck, too and is crazy, and surrounds himself with crazy).

          Others keep on supporting Taco because “he’s not status quo” and he’s “not a politician” and he’s “shaking things up”.

          Yeah, full on fucking Civil War where millions end up dead is also not status quo, either, but what the fuckity fuck.

            If we have a civil war, Biden will be remembered as a Buchanon, a man too corrupt and craven to do what was necessary to stand for justice and prevent a civil war.

              The dems will be remembered like the SDP, libs who birthed fascism, then handed power to fascists and continued to try to work with them, against the left, until the fascists realized they would better serve as examples than partners.

          It is extremely unethical to blame the voters for the sins of politicians. You don’t need to pander and carry water for corporate Dems. They’re not going to pick you. They knew exactly what they had to do to win the election, but they decided that they knew better than their voters. It is unamerican to blame the voters for the sins of their leaders.

            It is ridiculous to give a free pass to voters who voted for mask-off, celebrated hate and bigotry. Blaming the DNC while Trump 2028 flags are flying 6 months into his 2nd and legally final term is deflection at best and bad-faith shit posting at worst.

              Republicans are satanic. We know this. But they’re beyond salvation and there’s no point in really considering them. They’re demons and will vote for evil at every turn.

              Thankfully there aren’t enough Republican demons to actually win elections. They’re going to vote for maximum evil every election, but that hasn’t changed and will never change. They’re barely even human beings at this point; they’re mindless zombies brainwashed by conservative media. There’s no point focusing or considering them, as they’re a constant in any election. They will vote pro-demon every time. Bitching about Republicans is like bitching about literal Satan, the guy with the horns. Yeah, Satan’s evil. That’s his whole deal. Bitching about it won’t change anything.

              The reason we focus on Democrats is that they’re the only side that actually can potentially do any good in the electoral system. I hold them responsible for willingly handing the country over to the devils. They decided they would rather hand the country over to the demons rather than adopt the policies their base actually wanted. They lost the election. The demons just kept doing what they’ll always do, be demonic. Complaining about Satan is completely pointless and unproductive.

              Your attitude is actually one of the main reasons Democrats lost. Kamala and the DNC aren’t willing to completely write off Republicans, despite all evidence of their absolute irredeemable evil. And you’re here trying to pin the election on them, as if they’re not just an unchanging constant in our system. The DNC actually tried to reach out to them, as they, like yourself, believed that some redemption was actually possible among Republican voters. You’re still focusing on Republicans. In reality you should ignore them all together as they are completely beyond saving.
