    Rapist logic. I did what I did because I was strong enough to take what I want.

    Absolutely disgusting.

      That’s the thing that binds together the youngest techbro and the oldest oil baron.

      Antisocial “might makes right and I’m going to win” mentalities.

      It’s always been like this. This is how America acted for decades, but just denying it.
      Tbh it’s great they are just calling it openly, no need to convince people that they want to enslave latin America.

      They likely really screwed though - cuz if u announce this moral foundation they won’t get any support from locals, they basically killed it themselves.

          Would you ascribe that to some sudden evolutionary species-wide shift in the human genome?

          We’re the same hungry short-sighted horrific apes as four generations ago. And now that the good cheap energy is starting to run out, we will start hacking each other to death for crumbs.

          It ain’t the Care Bears out there.

    The problem this time is that unlike Germany, the US has almost unlimited technology, military force, and the backing of Russia. Fascism usually burns itself out for lack of resources. This time it could take a hundred years.

    So, by that same logic, any other country can, if it has the resources, kill him because reasons, right? If international rules are over…

      I mean effectively that’s basically what they are calling for… Hell I think that’s half what they are hoping for… either another country makes an attempt to attack and we get to test out our detection and defenses before launching a sharp counter and claiming whatever country attacks as our own. Or everyone’s too afraid to, and then we leverage our position as the unstable psychopath bully that everyone just gives whatever it asks for in the hopes that they can avoid being the next bullying target.

    Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller is behind most of the bad stuff in this administration, and behind ALL of the immigration stuff. Trump has already floated him as the guy to be in charge of running Venezuela. He will turn it into a slave colony, and force them to pump their oil for us. And worse.

    The Dems need to make him as much of the face of MAGA as Trump, and I mean that literally. He is one of the most repellent people on the planet, and just looking at his picture gives you an accurate first impression. Most of America has never even heard of this guy, yet he is Trump’s most trusted and influential advisor.

    The Dems need to make every voter aware of PeeWee Himmler, and make him a major issue in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Trump has some mysterious charisma that’s lost on me, but PeeWee Himmler has an anti-charisma like I’ve never seen before. To just see him is to dislike him, but as you get to know him, you realize that he’s actually pure evil, like Wormtongue whispering poison in the demented Trump’s ear.

    Make him a central figure in MAGA, second only to Trump, and run against him hard. Just like Trump, he has a notoriously thin skin, so besides making him known, it will have the effect of humiliating him.

    If we can’t get these traitors out of office, we can at least make sure that they don’t get to luxuriate in their evil power, make them guard their safety, and fight hard for everything they want that they thought would be easy to take. We have to harass them mercilessly, every minute of every day, and Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller needs to be taking a LOT of that harassment.

    And MAGA worshippers are watching with glee.

    As a non-Merican I hope the Union falls apart before Trump can crown himself King of America.

      As an American, I hope for the same. The New England Federation will probably be pretty chill. Probably high taxes even for the poors though

        Honestly, we need a list of the powers. project 2025 leaders, complicit congress, judges, etc. People need to know Trump is a puppet. Maybe a puppet with his own agenda, but he’s a puppet who is easily manipulated.

          You’re right.

          An easy one is Heritage Foundation (project 25), please look at their membership, it’s public information on their website.

          Where are a great deal of them from? They don’t report this in the mainstream news to my knowledge.

          Council on Foreign Relations. Heritage foundation is the “goon” branch off of the CFR tree (CFR actually funds studies and is a think tank, Heritage… does not and is not).

          The CFR website also has a public membership. Both sites have a history of past members, take a look at them. You will see many familiar names.

          Being the greediest man on Earth, Trump is very easy to manipulate.

    How has most of America not heard about this virulent pus bag? He’s on the news constantly, foaming at the mouth, shouting shit that would have gotten him dragged to the gallows by an angry mob any time before 1920 (and even then only because he absolutely would have funded the Pinkertons).

      the majority of america is either so disillusioned with the system or so inherently selfish that they simply don’t care at all unless something “political” directly effects them
