Some people get so caught up in “defeating the bad guy,” that they completely lose sight of the harm they are facilitating. At some point you have to ask yourself, “is this about winning or about saving lives?”
I don’t think anybody ever believed that the war was about saving lives.
I doubt if Republicans even want to win.
Republicans want to distract people from how Republicans are all defending serial child rapists, and want to drive up the debt in order to destabilize America.
Wait, you mean the proudly corrupt conservative government is being corrupt on a betting platform while callously playing with the lives of the American soldiers they have so much contempt for?
Im shocked, shocked I tell you
Furure sociologists are going to be spending entire careers trying to sort out how the US went so badly wrong.
Not really, we already know how the Nazis went so badly wrong, and the US is following basically the same path. The very wealthy are causing a massive redistribution of wealth, and using propaganda to convince Christians that its all somebody elses fault.
They are using that farmed hatred to drive Christians into fascism
Its the same playbook, and we already know how it works.
Sorry, cheering for political violence is just normal now. The right has been pushing and supporting political violence so hard that its…just not radical anymore.
Sure, this time it might not have been somebody on the right, but it doesn’t really matter. Once political violence becomes normal, it becomes normal.
