    Can we stop treating the “national security” and “endangering our troops” takes as if they make sense? Bombing brown people isn’t national security.

      They aren’t trying the win the minds of people who already agree with them.

      There are different words and different views of morality and liberty to different groups. This is speaking to the common sense of the right voters in their own language and values. Loyalty, pride in country over dictators, armed service as personal sacrifice for the greater population.

      Reds and blues actually agree on almost everything they just explain it completely differently and fight while agreeing. The politicians however are like cartoons of the farthest views to cover for lobbyists running our government since like 1980.

        Adding to what the other guy said, trying to get Republicans to convert to your side through FACTS and LOGIC is a fool’s errand. Always has been, always will be. This is why the Democrats keep losing; they focus too much on the enemy and not nearly enough on their own base (which, I should say, already outnumbers the enemy massively; they frankly don’t need anybody else).

    This is mask-off fascism, which should horrify every US citizen, because it means they think they have already won.

    Blame paddle-holding impotent Democrats unwilling to be aggressive and limp-dick Republicans scared of MAGA base. The government is full of dipshits scared of losing power

    It’s extremely damning or American liberals that when they get leaked conversations of their leaders callously massacring civilians in a brutal war of aggression, their reaction is to start sqarking about “national security” and “the troops”.

      Yeah, that’s the problem with Republicans, they’re not loyal enough to the glorious United States Empire
