      Yep. And I’m going to keep saying it and just ignore the people that do their nonsense WELLAXETUALLYYYY… stuff, because if they think for one second that them sticking with their bullshit after the election is going to do sweetfuckall I’m going to tell them just where to stick it when they are lecturing about what the Democrats should have done, or what they should do (in the future elections we probably won’t have), or how pointing out how damaging their actions were is “unhelpful”, etc…

      They haven’t learned a fucking thing yet.

        If you’d listened to them about what the Dems should have done, Harris would be president right now. BlueMaga haven’t learned a thing since 2016.

          “What the democrats should have done” was something to discuss during the primaries.

          After that it was either directly voting for a fascist or allowing a fascist to come to power through inaction or even outright telling people to not stop the fascist.

          You do not vote for people in a two-party first past the post system after a primary, you vote against.

          And it’s amazing people do not understand such a basic concept. But I guess that’s why we have Trump now.

          Nah the leftists would have just found something else to get their panties in a knot about.

          One thing they teach us liberals repeatedly is to not court them because they won’t show up when it counts.

      Well, the administration Harris was VP of was already ethnically cleansing Gaza, so on this particular issue - and no others - the difference is slight.

      This is just the start, and will likely involve the West bank next. After that, it’s likely that Israel will attempt expanding into its neighbors.

      And it’s not just to get some old dudes even richer - it’s also to further crush the ability of the middle east to rebel or obtain meaningful autonomy.

    Trump wants Canada to be the “51st” state, the Panama Canal, and Greenland. That so called day 1 end the Russian/Ukraine war? He will extend military aid if Ukraine supplies rare metals. Plus his actions are quickly leading to the next American civil war. How is this “antiwar”?

    It’s all bullshit like the tariffs with Mexico and Canada. He’ll talk about America annexing Gaza while everyone gets outraged, then “do a deal” with Netanyahu where Israel takes over, maybe with a side deal with another country to assist. Saudi Arabia, probably. Less forced relocation than before, etc.

    The thing they planned on doing anyway will look better than Trump’s idiotic, headline-grabbing fake idea. And the press, Dems, and general public will continue to fall for this trick every single time for the next 4 years.

      Agreed. I would not be surprised if this is to create cover for what fElon and his douchebro minions are doing when it comes to gutting our government.

      Saw a LOT of coverage of this unhinged statement about Gaza; not as much about the protests or what fElon is doing.

        Yeah, that’s certainly a part of it too. It’s a giant, bullshit circus spinning around Trump.

        There’s also a possibility that it’s a shock and awe campaign to get people scared enough to accept new “stability” laws that restore “law and order.”

    Ethnic cleansing is a lesser war crime than genocide. We already know he supports the ongoing genocide.
