Sure, everyone else is wrong, and you’re right even when you’re seemingly deliberately misreading everything. If you’re not trolling, you should probably get yourself checked.

Yeah, it was a very effective piece of propaganda to the point that Luddite is an insult now.

On the other hand, Biden is a Catholic too and that wasn’t an election issue. And Trump probably couldn’t tell you which denomination he pretends to be part of.

You can probably just track how much booze is being ordered to Hegseth’s office.

The protests didn’t do anything to that, it was the insurgency causing a steady supply of body bags to come back.

Which wasn’t the case before the invasion, when there were 0 US troops. Why the fuck do you bring up current day when I’m talking about protests that happened over 20 years ago (by people who knew the current outcome was likely)?

And the number there should be is 0, I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make here. People didn’t want a war in Iraq in 2003, there were mass peaceful protests, and yet it still happened.

The USA actually still had troops in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, etc. And the protests were to prevent an invasion from happening in the first place, not to go in, kill a million people and then 2 decades down the line throw up your hands and say ‘that was a mistake’ with no consequences for anyone that pushed for it.

That’s just horrific.

My theory is that you need both. You need figures that are non violent, but also the threat of more violent leaders around the corner if the non violent ones get ignored. You need Malcolm X to make MLK look like the compromise.

Yeah, look at the Iraq war protests, they didn’t amount to anything because they were peaceful and easily ignored by the media.

Happened during the first Trump admin as well. He fired all the pandemic guys and then was caught with his pants down when a pandemic happened.

The little Hitler moustache explains why he didn’t refuse this deployment.

I wasn’t talking about the Supreme Court. The people should be holding a constitutional convention.

The right already has a plan to do that, the people should have their own plan to counter it / take it over.

And actually a big part of the issue is the Supreme Court intentionally misinterpreting the letter and spirit of the constitution. The first, second and fourth amendments were fine the way they were, the Supreme Court just chipped away at them until they meant nothing any more.

You really need to rewrite all this shit from scratch. 250 years is a good run, but at some point you need to restart to fix shit.

It just means a bunch of farmers and restaurant owners called him up and complained about it. The deal was always that you only talked tough about deportation, you didn’t go through with it because otherwise those sectors would need to hire Americans that might unionise and complain about working conditions.

Eh, his brother was sitting right next to him and didn’t make it. This guy’s going to be wracked by survivor’s guilt.

Didn’t really get to for ages, but with a steam deck it’s doable to do it after the kid’s in bed to play an hour or 2 of something. You definitely have to pick other types of games than the ones I used to play tho (FPS and RTS don’t really work well with the Steam deck controls).

Was that before they got rid of ‘don’t be evil’?

Yeah, that means we can just replace them with a basic ChatGPT subscription and save millions every year, right?
