    Seriously though, has anyone had such an absolute grip on a US political party? Ever? George Washington had plenty of squabbling under him. Most dictators had more dissent.

    Non-interventionism was an absolute core of MAGA; this would be like Hitler pronouncing “we love Jews!” and everyone lining up like ducks. And they are! /r/conservative is ecstatic…

      Something more is going on. This seems more like psychological social manipulation. Shitty ads and political debate are one thing but I wouldn’t doubt real manipulation at criminal level digitally happening along with organized crime style strong arming and extortion. I mean the could digitally instigate an unaware person to murder two lawmakers… Without it ever coming back to them.

      I don’t think people have the freewill they think they have here.

        I dunno about extortion, but I’d buy bot/algo manipulation, yeah. That’s already what’s going on, in the open, and how Trump got elected.

    Great, so you’ve chosen to create a framework that makes this conflict an existential threat to your opponent. You’ve literally told them that they need to fight with everything they have. That’s a brilliant strategy you got goin’ on there.

        Everything he does makes a lot more sense when you consider that he’s an enemy of the US actively trying to do as much damage to our country as possible. Attacking Iran is no exception - the following retaliation and economic shitstorm are the point.

      Those chucklefucks aren’t going to rock a boat… even when the “captain” is drilling holes in the bottom.

    “Not politically correct”. It’s not a slur dumbass, it’s just… kind of a crime? And also, definitely fighting words. The sort of thing that might get Iran to consider a regime change here.

    I literally cannot imagine how anybody Trump picks would be any different from the asshole already running the place, tho.
