Don’t forget the pointless wars.

I think that’s the most Democratic Party headline I’ve ever seen.

Voters are a joke. At least the “I voted for that!” crowd is.

The usual Democratic Bullshit. Faced with the choice of trying to pressure vulnerable Republicans or help delay the vote, they helped delay the vote. This blood is as much on Democratic leadership’s hands as the Republicans.

That’s the whole reason Zionists invented the term Judeo-Christian.

Vanilla ISIS

They probably should have told them to leave before making it nearly impossible to do so.

respectfully please let us do our own evaluations of our own safety

Read my last paragraph.

do not tell us we are “overreacting” or “too sensitive”.

I didn’t.

I’ve had people tell me that I’m not trusting my whiteness to keep me safe in America.

There are risks attached to staying in the US. There are also risks involved in leaving. Everybody has to evaluate those risks for their own situation. I wouldn’t tell anyone to stay, and I wouldn’t tell anyone to leave. I don’t have to be queer to have a perspective on the political landscape and I frankly don’t need your permission to share that perspective.

Whether or not you want to sound like you’re belittling our concerns, you are.

I’m sorry you think so but, I’m really not. The concerns are legitimate and not over blown. I think the concerns are so important that it’s critically important to have a realistic understanding of the current political situation that’s driving them.

I totally get where you are coming from but, despite the glaring parallels, this is not Nazi Germany. These Republican freaks aren’t Nazis, they are Nazi fetishists. They don’t have the ideological commitment that Hitler and his lieutenants did. For instance, when courts shut them down, they usually retreat. Instead of cancelling elections, they build a liberal sounding (but false) narrative to suppress participation. These are spoiled and rich kids who have never in their lives had to be competent at anything. They don’t even understand what competence is.

At this point in Nazi Germany, the fight for Germany was already over. In the US today, it’s looking more and more inevitable that they will lose at a national level. By lose, I mean electorally, but also culturally. Arguably they have lost already on a cultural level. Polling on trans issues have shifted dramatically in the right direction.

As a kid, my mother wouldn’t let me play at at my friend’s house because his brother was gay. Enter Trump after 30 years of cultural evolution and she is outraged by what Republicans are doing to trans folks. I honestly don’t think she has ever met someone who is trans, or even gay, but they are part of her world now because Republicans unwittingly put them there.

I would never tell someone to stay in a place they feel unsafe, and that’s not my intention here. All I’m saying is that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. There are a lot of things to consider here beyond the parallels with Nazi Germany.

They were also defending themselves from a building refugee crisis.

A nation committing a genocide does tend to be aggravated by other nations interfering.

Iran was not about to have nukes. If you listen to Netanyahu, Iran has been a week away from having nukes for decades.

If Iran did get nukes, why would that be a threat? You think Iran would be interested in putting their arsenal up against the United States? Using a nuke would be national suicide. All it would do is provide them protection from regime change wars.

How do you get there from what was an ongoing genocide and an immanent threat? Has NATO ever bombed a country because they might attack in 30 years? There is your answer.

At least in that circumstance there were already active hostilities that did threaten to flood NATO countries with Albanian refugees trying to escape ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, and a strong possibility that the conflict would expand into NATO states.

In this war with Iran there is nothing but Israeli bloodthirst and an American President who desperately needs a distraction and something to regroup his base.

Three months ago I would have agreed. Today, I think Trump is more of a liability than an asset. If he goes, they will load all the bad shit that even MAGA sees on his back and watch it go away.

That’s terrible! Would anyone happen to know where that warehouse might be? Asking for a friend.

To many Christians, Jesus rebuilt the temple when he was resurrected. Trump makes a pretty good anti-christ figure. If Karoline Leavitt had red hair we would be good to go.
