        ““He’s doing a good job,” Trump said about the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that [Netanyahu] decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

          That’s nice dear. Biden is currently commiting genocide and has troops in Israel commiting genocide. Harris has stated she is not changing from bidens policy.

    It’s pretty simple. Just like when the simple solution to defeating the Nazis was to fucking kill them or force them to surrender and rot in a prison. The approach still stands. You don’t let fire spread; you put it out. You don’t let disease spread; you kill or contain it. You don’t let mold grow in your house; you eradicate it.

    You don’t let nazis march in your streets in 2024; you beat the fuck out of them and send them to hell.

      We can’t beat up the Nazis when the cops are already there protecting them, it’s insane that we’ve gotten to this point

        Cops were always out there protecting reactionary politics.

        The reality is that if people want to stop simply dreaming about revolution, shit is gonna get way ugly before it gets better. Us USA folks are stuck in a country that has both the biggest military and by extension, police forces, in the entire world. Our government looks at world atrocities and is like “yeah, we patented that.”

    These are the “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” Republicans all over the city. It doesn’t matter what they believe, or say they believe, the only thing they think about at the polls is conservatism.

    “I absolutely support education, just not with my tax dollars.”

      Ah the ol’ bootstrap manifestors

      Completely oblivious to the circumstances that gifted them their lives, yet insistent on making their delusion a reality for those less fortunate.

        I think it’s wilful ignorance, at least sometimes. They know they succeed because of taxes paid by previous humans, they just don’t want to contribute themselves.

        My parents sure do love voting away all social welfare from existence.

        My family would not have survived without the food, medical, and schooling assistance we recieved. Without their church helping out, we wouldn’t have had the rent several times.

        They don’t see any problem here.

    But surely the biggest problem in America is that oligarchs pay too much taxes /s We too will be welcome into the oligarch club, and who tf wants to pay 21% corporate taxes when we get there. Like why bother ruling over all of you, if we will have to pay taxes?
