Hey Republicans. Where does this train end, if y’all refuse to get off as the lawbreaking gets more and more egregious? Is there any point at which you will disembark?
Only once it affects them personally.
And only if it really affects them. 5-10% off their net worth is nothing compared to the power they seek.
Not even then.
Can…can we encourage that outcome somehow?
Not a Repub, but this isn’t unique to one party. Biden fell under criticism for something similar by bombing Iranian-backed militias in Syria. No matter the president’s political affiliation, they all are war pigs.
Both sides, huh? That’s what you’re going with? Sorry, but Biden’s presidency wasn’t a blatant fascist systemic takeover and dismantling of our systems of government. Trump’s very much IS. So that’s a little bit of a differentiator there.
Now that’s a completely different set of issues and arguments lol. I was discussing purely the “illegal” wars that each president has carried out during their terms, upholding the Military Industrial Complex standard.
This is reality. One can’t hope to gain anything useful or non-detrimental from cherry picked comparisons. And I would argue even then we are not looking at the same types or severity or blatantness of egregious disregard for the rule of law. And that’s not even taking into account the underlying goals, and intentions, and motivating factors for these actions, which are frankly dialectically and morally opposite.
Agreed. We compromised our way into full fascism, people need to draw lines and refuse to cross them or nothing will change. Healthy boundaries make the world go ‘round.
A snowball's chance in hell of the GOP's fascist bootlickers letting this pass - or enforcing it on the off-chance it does come to pass - but it's good that Rep. Omar is bringing this up.
