And most of them are socialists. I sat my reliably republican voting aunt down and had a discussion about policy. Point for point. Healthcare. Immigration. Labor. Even stuff like gay marriage. Point by point I proved to her that she was and always has been a socialist. But the instant the big scary S word left my mouth her pavlovian conditioning kicked in. I was a fool and an idiot. Didn’t know what I was talking about. etc.

She shut down the convo.

What was the term back during Bush’s war on peace?

“Extraordinary Rendition”

No. That was shipping “criminals” to torture camps and prisons in a third country so the US wouldn’t be blamed for all the torture and illegal imprisonment.

That sounds familiar. Like recently familiar.

Still. Wonder if there’s a name for kidnapping escaped scientists who fled the country and bringing them back. I bet there’s a German word. There’s always a German word. Might be 47 letters and entirely unpronounceable. But it probably exists.

How long do we think it’ll take for the brain drain to kick into its full economic consequences? 5, 10 years?

“Don’t print that I was mad” energy from the clown prince.

The Schumer Strategy. They just can’t give it up no matter how many times it fails. (they will try again)

Chinese Exclusion Act of 2025.

It’ll be remembered as being just as heinous as the Japanese Exclusion Act is.

Rafael Edward Cruz is quoted as saying,

(enthusiastic dick sucking noises)

Bawk bawk.

Someone Voe3 this. Make a video of him wearing nothing but a diaper and a torn shirt wielding ketchup bottles akimbo squirting them all over everything.

That sundowner 2am tweet FULL OF CAPS is gonna be TREMENDOUS.

Good. Keep slapping the clown prince at every opportunity.

Its not complicated at all.

Trans folks are just folks. Takes all kinds. Mind your own business.

People who can’t mind their own business are assholes. And should be treated like the assholes they are.

Not to mention just how blatantly disrespectful it is to not treat people how they want to be treated. Republicans love to pull a bible out of their gaping holes when it suits them right? Luke 6:31-36.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

But you did respond. And with that I’ve won. gg. get gud kid. skill issue. etcetera.

Last. Word.

The fucks Russia got to do with it?

Were you around for Bush’s Global War On Peace? I’ve hated this country for more than half my life.

You know what you know. Tell them not to do stupid shit next time. If there’s a next time. The Schumer Strategy doesn’t work. Hasn’t worked. Won’t ever work. Run to the left and you can’t lose. Run to the right and you’re guaranteed to lose. Proven track record. And don’t support genocide. Ever. Not materially or tacitly.

Y’know I was on team Kamala. Right up until the night of the DNC when they wouldn’t allow a Palestinian to speak. And all those party members were outside laughing and smiling and dancing at protesters. Because up until that point I in my foolishness truly believed that my party was better than that. That there was some kind of moral superiority at play. Even if they’re all corrupt shitbags. I thought that in their heart of hearts that they were still human. That maybe they could be redeemed somehow. But they showed me my folly. That night. That was the end of it. Now I really don’t give a good god damn what happens to this country. I thought Republicans are evil and our guys were pretty shit but not outright evil themselves. But boy they sure showed me.

It’s not the carefully crafted speeches or big policy pushes that tell you who they are. Its those small moments. Like in 2015. When Chump announced his run. He was pandering to the lgbt crowd. He paid them lip service openly. Even claimed support for them would be in the party platform. Then the GOP quietly removed that and he didn’t fight it. Small moments. That told me who he was. An opportunistic grifter. A conman. He’d say anything to get his way. And I learned to pay attention to those small moments.

Call to ‘burn Jews’ by German politician did not violate ethics rules, Reichstag says

I refused to vote for genocide.

And boy they pushed hard didn’t they? Remember when they held that presser to tell the country “We are legally obligated to do this but we openly declare what Israel is doing to be a criminal war crime and we condemn it in the strongest of terms. We also call for international investigations and observers” Remember when that happened? When they did that? Do you remember it? Because I don’t. Because it never happened.

You tell yourself whatever the fuck you need to so you can sleep at night. I sleep like a baby. I’ve never once questioned myself. I knew what would happen. I knew it waaay back. I knew that the Clown Prince was a lying fraud as far back as 2015. (didn’t vote for him back then either btw) But what I also knew was that the dems have a bad habit of lying through their teeth. 2016 didn’t help. Wilding v. DNC Services Corp didn’t either. Nowadays my vote is for sale. It costs universal healthcare. I don’t listen to spin. I don’t watch what used to be news channels or the panels of spin doctors they field. Because its all smoke. Every talking point was hand crafted by wonks who think we’re all mouth breathing knuckle dragging morons. (sitting here laughing about how right they’ve turned out to be as I type this.) All I care about is policy. Hard Policy. With real impact. That’s universal healthcare, free college, UBI, etc. They can either do the policy or die. Along with this despicable country. If it isn’t ever going to get better then its better that it burns. Right now both parties are fine with genocide. The most you’ll get out of them is them running away from cameras. And I will never vote for anyone who supports genocide. Not under any circumstances. Not to save myself or my neighbors. That’s my blood red line (of childrens blood) in the sand. If you can hold your nose good for you. I can’t, won’t, and won’t even entertain the idea of it. If that’s what this country is then this country shouldn’t exist anymore. We are lost if we can trade comfort at home for the lives of millions. I’ve seen that before during Bush and Obama’s global war on peace.

And that’s why the brunch liberals hate him. Not because they’re particularly against tax cuts for the rich and warmongering. Cutting safety nets for the poor. Stuff like that.

They’ve definitely fucked. They got that ex-hate thing going on.

You voted for genocide. Get help. Be better.
