portland is antifa central now

at this point i dont really care that trump is imperfect, i just dont want to give the leftists any more ground

see, that mindset is literally just fuel for escalation

let their party crash and burn and shatter into a thousand pieces, then they can pick up those pieces and make a more moderate party

its not enough to simply spite your enemy, you need a solution to counter them

well its like you said earlier, we want to avoid a one party system

something Sargon's gone and fucking ignored

that means the democrats need to get their shit together or we are just going to have republican rule from now on

I mean, just dismissing the left and blanket calling them all socialists was the modus operandi of Republicans for decades. So who's fault is it now that a new generation has thrown up its hands and said "fine, I guess we're socialists now"

its not all the republicans fault

the democrats engaged in a purity spiral thjats gotten them to this point

not all, but not none

its a competition for them to see who is the "most left"

don't forget, socialism only finds fertile soil when the people of a nation feel their government doesn't rule by the consent of the governed

or at least in their best interest

if anything a republican-only government will just make this socialism shit even worse

like, actual armed rebellion worse

Republicans as they are now and have been for the last 20 years, that is

old guard republicans suck

thats why trump won, he wasnt "one of them"

except he turned out to be exactly one of them

oh they'll clutch their pearls and wag their finger when he *says* shit they don't find polite

but all his actions scream party orthodoxy

Remember when Obama made a phonecall to the Cuban government?

you know, the first official communication with them in nearing half a century?

and suddenly wham, small businesses are started to be legally privatized

what does trump do?

slam that fucking door shut

why?

Republicans hate cuba

literally no other reason

just party orthodoxy

Now put that next to your point about being friendly with N.Korea

yes, that's a great idea

and easing relations with Russia

also a great idea

but Cuba?

nope, not even a consideration

the only thing i know about cuba is they have the right to vote, for one guy, the same guy every time, and the people living there are desperate enough to try to raft across the ocean to get out of that shit

yes

you know how you do absolutely nothing to solve that?
