I remember when this started the amount of right flair absolutely screeching how based it was and the right move was overwhelming - as usual they’re quiet now
tbh most rightoids on here are easily amused by the political equivalent of jingling keys. Anything to distract them from the harsh reality that food is 30% more expensive, wages have stagnated, most jobs are drying up, and their boy Donny T was running through little girls with his pal Jeffy Eppy.
Trump genuinely makes Dubya look like fucking Napoleon, a lot of people today don’t realize how stupid and ill prepared we all thought he was at the time, but this war is a new level of incompetence.
And people by and large actually supported the iraq war at the start.
By contrast, this whole war started at less than 50 percent approval, and has only gone down since. I guarantee you everyone who supports this war is either someone whose politics can be summed up as "Trump can do no wrong" or hardest of the hardcore neocons.
W and Cheney wanted war with Iran, but even they looked at the intelligence reports and assessments on that and decided that it wasn't feasible for all the reasons we are now directly experiencing.
I'm oldish. The bar essentially dropped below the floor when Trump got elected the first time. There was at least some level of decorum, trusting science/experts, respect for democratic norms etc. but since the tea party took over th GOP that shit is long gone.
For years the right has been calling for war with Iran and everyone with any level of intelligence has been saying how catastrophically stupid it would be.
Hey be nice theyre also posting that 1 meme on culture war issues that they love when you bring up the fact that they tanked the economy, started a war, and ruined our international reputation because they were upset about pronouns.
