Center left. I don't recognize my country anymore. 🇺🇸 I follow back for insightful replies and reposts.
Is there currently a genocide in Gaza? I don't know. What I do know is that if the Israeli military wanted to commit actual genocide it would be trivially easy for them to do so. The people who cite the definition of genocide to justify their claims are letting "or in part" do some HEAVY lifting.
Here is a conservative joke which portrays immigrants as inhuman. It's frustrating... People on the left don't want to have this conversation - "immigrants are not inhuman, they're wrong, so let's talk about something else." But that's what the conversation is. Not voting for Harris allowed this.
Just so we're clear: Trump repeatedly claims victory because of increases in "black jobs". This woman ponders what a "black job" is, and makes fun of Trump by saying maybe the VP is a "black job". He misses the point so badly that he tries to quote her quoting Trump as some kind of zinger. Yikes.
The level of arrogant ignorance is astounding. I can't believe representative Brandon Gill (R) posted this on his social media as a "win".
First they came for the immigrants, and here's the rest of the poem. Anyone. Not any immigrant. Born here and hate it? Get ready to be deported to who knows where. Turns out the lesser evil was a lot less evil huh. Oh well, at least we saw Musk doing a Nazi salute so people will vote next time. 🫣
Mike Johnson knows the elections aren't rigged. He knows what he's saying is offensive to the core principles of democracy. He also knows he'll be punished if he doesn't tow the line. What's one more lie? Just lie one more time, then we can move on. One more time.
This is good news. Trump: "Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it? No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."
Saw this as a pro-Trump post. It's such a great encapsulation of the times. Republicans get into office and destroy the economy, and hand it off to Democrats to fix who get blamed for it. Rinse and repeat.
The founders, concerned about a tyrant taking over the government, create the electoral college, the senate, impeachment, separation of powers, and the damn 2nd amendment just in case. Republicans:
This is a great post that highlights the misunderstanding leftists have about the ideological spectrum. They think that centrists have no beliefs, and are almost exclusively motivated by compromise. That's not true. I believe my centrist ideas are better than yours on the merits.
"Just go live in other countries as a minority" is kind of a hilarious take given, you know, history and all that.
The whole article provides needed context, but this paragraph sums up some of the broad strokes.
