I oppose war in Iran because was is detestable.

You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.

We are not the same.

When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”

Really odd how her opinions always seem to line up with the Kremlin's

Saw polling where even Trump voters only have 25% support for attack on Iran, and majority of all demographics oppose by over 50%. There is a huge disconnect between zionist supremacist media and politicians, and American people. Not just war, but marjority of Amercians have unfavourable view of Israel despite absolute political/media dominance to "educate them".

Polls also show overwhelming support for social security and taxing the rich, the GOP don't give af and the R voters won't change how they vote over this.

They are so close to realizing it.

[–] nova_ad_vitum 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They are absolutely not and will not under any circumstances actually go after Trump for any of this.

I'm going to guess that Russia doesn't want us to enter the war.

Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.

I'm guessing everyone with a brain doesn't want the US to go into Iran. It's like these people didn't learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Learn things? With our education system??? Buddy! What do you think this is??? A different country? Who's this other country you're thinking about??? They sound like someone we need to go to war with! Do they have oil?

Kinda. MTG is ragging on Fox News, sure, but she's also both-sides'ing media outlets on the left with her full quote:

We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does

She's fishing for people to agree with her which legitimizes her claim that left-leaning news networks are just as untrustworthy as Fox News, which is an untrustworthy news outlet, but she doesn't say shit about Breitbart or OANN or any of the other right-wing superspreaders of misinformation.

So, she is a broken clock that's currently pointing at the correct time, but she did it in a way to sneak in an untruth or two in there hoping that people would pick up on that and amplify the message.

This is not a time to get hung up about identity politics, who's red, who's blue. Everyone should scream at the Trump regime that war with Iran is unacceptable and to never bring it up again.

There will be time for bickering afterwards about details, but right now, everyone against this war should circle the wagons.

And everyone not against this war needs to first say no to that war, second pick up an history book about Iraq and Afghanistan.

I thought this was a SNL skit with a joe biden character on the left.

There's a youtuber I like that uses the term "weaponized autism" but this is more of a "ballistic brain damage" scenario.

Before you get too excited, this was an interview with OAN, and that she thinks people should be paying more attention to OAN

A republican being anti-Fox News? That's a bold strategy.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I have heard some people refer to Fox News as being, and I quote, "liberal."

In fairness, these people are part of the MAGA crowd, so I assume they can't actually read and have no idea what the word "liberal" means.

you mean the war started by the spoiled child state enabled by the USA?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

When a right winger tells the truth, it's because they're lying twice. Or in this case, more like 4, possibly 6 times.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day or however the saying goes.
