    In all honesty I think if Trump was president right now, not only would I have been shot about 2 years ago (lots of Trump assholes around me and I was pretty vocal on the town page when I was on FB back in 2020), we absolutely would have boots on the ground in Gaza.

      “Captain! Captain they’re shooting at us!”

      Well, shoot back!

      Yeah, plenty of likely Brownshirts around me, and they may get the drop, but I’m not harmless.

        Thankfully we’ve had four more years to get more people armed. A lot of us are no longer unable to defend ourselves and our communities.

      If trump was president right now, democrats would be at least more harshly condemning his actions in Gaza because it wouldn’t be politically expedient for them to downplay their complicity in genocide to maintain their current level of comfort and power. Gotta keep that machine running no matter what, I guess.

        Ummm. They would be dead. They constructed gallows outside the capital on Jan 6th to hang Mike Pence. What makes you think any democrats would have survived to even see the Gaza war?

          Oh man and Trump is only more pissed now since feeling like he didn’t get to be the biggest man, and get his easy win election.

          If that wasn’t true before it definitely feels that way now.

          I was thinking more so if Trump won the election rather than succeeded the insurrection, but I’ll give you that. Fascists are gonna fascist. I just don’t see any way to stop creeping fascism so long as people are downplaying atrocities for the sake of damage reduction. We’re going to end up with fascism regardless since we’re doing nothing to prevent it.

        I’m not a Democrat, but I would be at war. If having a right to vote is the hill I die on so be it.
