The thing is, that we, the West, don’t want to be an imperial power that invades other countries any more
That’s true for the majority of the citizens but almost none of the governments.
To go with the most obvious example, the US government is interfering in the affairs of other countries and the private lives of its own citizens as much as it has ever done and willfully lying constantly to cover it and many other things up.
You don’t eat, sleep or go to the bathroom?
Someone call Harrison Ford, we have a replikant!
Reminder: Corbyn was the duly elected leader of Labour until Starmer’s right wing flank of the party conspired to have him thrown out based on false accusations of antisemitism.
Keir Starmer who, while the leader of a party literally named after their solidarity with the labour movement, fired a shadow cabinet minister for joining a picket line in solidarity with striking railway workers
Truer words were never spoken 😮💨
“I won’t vote for Biden because Israel refuses to sign a ceasefire” bullshit
Fun fact: support in the form of weapons and political cover from the governments of the UK, Germany, and ESPECIALLY the US is why the fascist apartheid regime hasn’t been FORCED to stop the genocide several months ago.
He knows this and even though the majority of his prospective voters are IMPLORING him to stop participating in a genocide in their name, even though he KNOWS that it’s likely to cost him the election and even though he KNOWS that it’s likely to be the last one ever if he does lose, he still refuses.
He’s putting his Zionist ideology and his stubborn inability to admit fault ahead of not just Gazan lives, but also the survival of American democracy and the universality of international law.
Even KAMALA would be a better choice than someone so completely out of touch with and devoid of respect for the ideals and institutions he’s supposed to be protecting.
Still better than Trump, though, so we just have to keep pretending that the old war criminal is perfect, lest the Blue No Matter Who apparatchiks lob spurious allegations of fascist loyalties at us 😮💨🤦
Pretty sure that these ones prefer the memes of reproduction tbh…
USSC? Union of Soviet Socialist Catboys?
Perhaps another user would like to reply to Viking with something like “presumably nothing, gimme that fat dick!”
If I had a dollar for every time people have said those exact words to me…I’d obviously still be broke.
The unofficial motto of Alabama is “thank God for Mississippi” because in most statistics Mississippi is the only thing keeping Alabama from being at the bottom with regards to anything positive and at the top with regards to anything negative 😄
I’ve said it hundreds of times before and I’ll say it again: Mississippi is the worst state.
It isn’t in the (inter)national news for being awful as much as Florida and Texas, but that’s because those are rich “Hollywood Awful” states.
Mississippi is more of a destitute “1970s village in a swamp governed by the most racist and corrupt ogres ever” kind of awful.
You’ve put the concept Horny Airbud into my brain and I would like to return it, please.
Presumably not much, unless you’re Rhea Durham 🤷
Alternative headline: 53% are ignorant, naïve as FUCK or both. Probably both.
I mean, I can see that if you’re unaware and maybe from another country you can see them as looking pretty cool at first glance
Only if you’re Mr T, Liberace, or a French king. Those things are gaudy as fuck 😄
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.

*~80%
Trump never got the votes of more than 20% of the population.
Best I can do is his clogged up heart on a plastic cutting board from IKEA…
Are there, though? Or is it just people who won’t admit that they don’t plan on voting and/or don’t know shit about dick?
The time to switch candidates was 6-8 months ago. It’s too late at this point, at least for US politics
That’s simply not true.
If they were to not switch from Biden, Trump would win
in a landslidewithout having to say a damned thing or remind anyone he existed between now and then
Fixed it for you. His chances were already bad due to his insistence on not listening to the people telling him to stop participating in a genocide, and that debate killed it. Even Kamala Harris would have a better chance now.
An especially obvious and egregious one is Haiti.
In the recent past, there’s also the US-backed coup against Evo Morales and the attempted one in Venezuela, known as Operation Freedom i case anyone should have any doubt as to who was really behind it…
