Care to elaborate?

When I say “post hog” this isn’t what I mean.

I could Nazi that coming.

(I am so sorry)

I looked up the tweet because I refused to believe 80% of Americans are in favor of airstrikes.

https://x.com/Osint613/status/1935360062274552236

80% of Americans don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. But when asked about airstrikes, 48% support airstrikes to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, and 47% don’t. 70% of Republicans support an airstrike, but 30% don’t. All this Based on a CNN poll that I’m sure is completely unbiased (lol).

I don’t blame OP for taking a screenshot of a sensational headline. But this Twitter account criminally misrepresented the video that they posted.

Americans are split 50/50 when it comes to airstrikes on Iran to prevent them from gaining a nuclear weapon. That is depressing and frustrating, but it is also so far away from 80% support for airstrikes that I can only assume “OS Int” is purposefully lying. The fact that everyone commenting on this tweet has obviously not watched the 80 seconds of video, is depressing, frustrating, and exactly what I expect from my fellow Americans.

In the '90s people were still talking about how Vietnam started off as the Democrat’s war. Democrats also tended to be the party that talked about intervention, being the world’s policeman.

H.W. and Reagan started plenty of conflicts but the average American saw no impact from these conflicts. They couldn’t point to Granada on a map, and Desert Storm was just a fun show on CNN. These conflicts were quickly forgotten and through most of the 90s Republicans were able to position themselves as a party of peace. In 2000, George W Bush’s campaign focused on limiting “foreign entanglements” and not acting as the world’s police.

It’s always been a lie from both parties, but even though it’s a lie it’s still the kind of message that wins elections.

I’ve been looking for sources that back me up and I’m starting to think that this impression I have, is less objectively true. I definitely remember in the lead up to the Iraq War, several people reminding me the Republicans had not gotten us into the quagmire of Vietnam or Korea, but rewatching the presidential debates of 2000, it’s really hard to find a place where Bush and Gore actually differ on foreign policy.

They’re going to try to maneuver to the right of Trump. And then be mad at us when they manage to lose a gimme election in the midterms.

When I was very young in the '90s, the Democrats were the party that got us into war. Republicans were able to sit back, preach neutrality and isolationism. They could rightfully say that “we don’t get involved in foreign quagmires, Korea and Vietnam were Democrat wars” while positioning themselves as a party of peace. Of course that was a lie, but it was a lie that resonated with a lot of people.

Starting in 2004, the Republicans became the party of war. They were the ones who got us into the most recent foreign quagmires. Democrats had an amazing opportunity to frame themselves as the party of peace, The party of no forever-wars. Something that they were somewhat successful in during the Obama years. Even though we know that it was a lie, it was a lie that resonated with people.

Watching the Democrats give up this amazing position, is like watching The Washington Generals lose a basketball game to a pack of stray dogs. It’s infuriating. I don’t expect the Democrats to do the right thing, I don’t even expect them to do the smart thing, but if you can’t run up the score in a situation like this what is the point of organizing yourself into a party?

Skill issue.

All my partners have remarked how quick I am in bed. And I don’t even know what Pilates are.

I foresee a split in the Trump coalition.

Everyone over 45, the old school neocons, evangelicals, Reagan Republicans, they will end up lining up behind their wartime president.

The Theo Von podcast Republican, young America Firsters, and a good chunk of the straight up online Nazis, will push back. This might end up costing Trump the midterm, depending on how Democrats handle their messaging. But it will have no impact when JD Vance decides to run for president in 2028.

The powerless tankies are really to blame for Israeli terrorism and unprovoked wars.

Israel was gonna lay down her weapons until someone posted PPB and forced them to shoot that Iranian hospital. They were gonna stop the blockade on Gaza but someone posted a meme about Xi and now they have to shoot starving people for the crime of wanting food.

Futurama beat them to it.

Iran has been pounding the shit outta Haifa so resupply by sea might be more difficult than it would normally be.

Yakub is not sending his best.

Also cut offs all food, water, fuel, medicine, and power to the region. Your family that is being held hostage isn’t safe as long as they can access medical supplies or the occasional meal.

What do you mean by “what”, “do”, “you”, and “mean”?

Also I hate postmodernism.

Sherlock Holmes, but in the middle of one of his cocaine benders.

Bro, they get conditional support at best. They are literally monarchists.

I think uncritically swallowing US propaganda without any additional research makes you a convenient lapdog of the empire.

Edit. This is harsh and I have edited my comment. Regardless. I will not assume homophobic intent based souly on a single propaganda piece. If actual evidence of maliciousness exists I am happy to take it into consideration; but if Voice of America said the sky is blue I would look out a window to confirm.

All I know is if you assume the opposite of whatever the US State Department or it’s affiliated media outlets says, you will be right more often than not.

State Department says “Evil SeeSeePee hates the gays and so they arrested a bunch of them” - I will assume the opposite until and unless credible reporting comes out to corroborate the propaganda outlets claims.
