I'm thinking the Republicans just saw a weapon they could use later when people compare them to the Nazis.

What the hell does “self-determination” even mean? I feel like since 10/7 we’ve all been gaslit into the idea that “self-determination” is some obvious, uncontroversial thing

Lebensraum or Manifest Destiny or self-determination, our enemies like to use flowery words. Their goal is to try to capture our emotions and to stoke the flames of nationalism. All they do is kindle the embers of hatred I have for America in my heart.

Death to America

EDIT: I fucking love that Manifest Destiny page. Its so fucking long justifying the wholesale slaughter of indigenous people but at the bottom is this throw away section that they probably felt they had to include.
