Uhhhm, the article was mostly Republican congressmen urging the President to declassify the briefings and they all said the threat originates from Russia. So this is one of those rare times where Republicans seem to be genuine in their concern

Those that live on the fringes of both sides of the political spectrum. Mostly far-right conservatives, but also some non-pragmatic libertarians and anarchists

China: “how can I blame this on the Americans?”

Fuck Lieberman for ruining Obamacare. It could have been so much more

Yeah, I hear you. You’ve all changed my mind, good points around!

Oh they want to invade, but they’re also aware how quickly they would get leveled. They’re hoping their pawns can do enough damage for them, and to hell with who gets hurt along the way, whether it be Palestinians, the Lebanese, or Yemenis. It’s why to me, it takes a monster to openly cheer for one side or the other. Israel is wrong for what it’s doing to the Palestinians, but to praise Hamas/Iran is just unconscionable. It’s one of the times when it’s totally fair to blame both sides for the mess that’s going on lol

I agree with you there! But at the same time, him with less options leaves the door open for more unfettered violence. I think it’s not likely that a bunch of old racist men who cosplay as Navy SEALs would stage a widespread revolt that involves multiple domestic terrorist incidents, but… it’s sort of not impossible either. Some rightwingers took out a power grid near Fort Bragg last year. Makes me wonder if that was a drill

Iran wouldn’t invade. They’d use their proxies abroad to stage an assault, and Israel may escalate without the U.S. holding it back by striking Iran directly

Or he is disgusted with how Netanyahu is waging genocide. The U.S. can’t just say “alright Israel, you’re on your own” because it would possibly lead to a nuclear conflict between Israel and Iran. Shit would get out of hand real fast when the militants try to storm Israel thinking it’s go time. I hate Netanyahu as much as I hate Khamenei and Hamas

I’m doing as much as I can now! I hope more people leave Reddit soon, we need some backup lol

There are four big things that are making life shitty for those who find themselves in the lower class.

1: High housing costs. This could be resolved with zoning reform and more public investments in housing. Liberals would work to resolve these issues while conservatives will be their NIMBY selves and refuse to support public housing

2: High price of goods. Compounded by an internal labor shortage that could be alleviated by not demonizing immigrants and a series of wars that have put a strain on global trade, as well as the massive supply chain disruptions brought about by the pandemic, inflation was a given. It will take time to resolve itself, but it could be resolved more quickly if Congress could investigate corporations making record profits. That won’t happen when Republicans have as much sway as they do.

3. Minimum wage being stagnant. The only places have raised minimum wage have been in blue parts of the country. Republicans will always refuse to raise minimum wage. They will always support businesses paying the least amount of money possible.

4. Old-fashioned racism and sexism. Guess which party is working to revoke and has already revoked protections that prevent biased hiring and equal opportunity?

Things won’t get better unless Republicans have zero say in how the country is governed. A 20 seat lead in the house and a 2 seat lead in the Senate is not enough when Congress is full of Manchins and Sinemas. An overwhelming blue wave could and would produce real change in the country, but it won’t happen unless we mobilize early and fight for our rights.

I hope he comes in third so his losers rally behind Haley. I know Trump will win the nomination, but I hope Haley wins enough states to lengthen the primary just enough that it drives Trump even crazier. The longer he focuses his ire on his fellow Republicans, the better the chances of him being defeated.

I’m voting for Haley in the primary and I hope that you all join me (if you live in an open primary state that is). Just be sure to mention you need a Republican ballot. You can wash your mouth out with soap later
