Right? People just hate on things that are harmful for no reason. "Orangemanbad" "Carbonemmissionsbad" "Snakevenombad" "Christofascistwannabedictatorbad"

Fukkin snowflakes.

I get that you’re being sarcastic, but you know what? You’ve changed my mind. Trump was as bad as carbon emissions and snake venom. Did you see his followers walking aimlessly in the capital on January 6th? Thank god that rebellion was quelled and we installed the, “better choice” that tangibly made American lives worse to fund a quagmire war in Ukraine. Then, after a complete lack of pushback, because, “at least he’s not literally Hitler,” he went on to hurt our lives even more to commit ACTUAL genocide in Gaza, using American livelihood to fund it,

But you know, nobody on his “team” dressed up in a bear skin and larped around a defunct government building. So, you know, he’s the good guy.

No, but I did see them vandalizing a building I pay for, smearing shit on my walls and damaging priceless historically important artifacts. I saw them stealing government laptops and trying to sell them on eBay, and they did all of this at the behest of a rejected president who was trying to whip the mob into more overt and brazen acts.

...we installed the, “better choice” that tangibly made American lives worse to fund a quagmire war in Ukraine.

I actually don't have a problem with supporting Ukraine. I think it's a damn shame that we are cutting blank checks to Israel, who is currently in the act of committing genocide, instead of supporting a sovereign nation trying to defend itself from the literal war crimes being committed on its people by a very large and very corrupt neighbor.

he went on to hurt our lives even more to commit ACTUAL genocide in Gaza

Biden is commiting genocide in Gaza? That's a big jump. Don't act like Republicans are doing the right thing here and resisting Biden's support for Israel. They were practically tripping over themselves to send money to Israel to kill Muslims. MEANWHILE they are stonewalling attempts to help Ukraine in order to get more racist, anti-humanitarian border policies passed.

I'm not happy about Biden, but I won't entertain for a nanosecond the notion that he is any worse than trump would be right now.

Republicans would be helping out bombing Gaza before they’d oppose it.
