Can we stop treating the “national security” and “endangering our troops” takes as if they make sense? Bombing brown people isn’t national security.
They aren’t trying the win the minds of people who already agree with them.
There are different words and different views of morality and liberty to different groups. This is speaking to the common sense of the right voters in their own language and values. Loyalty, pride in country over dictators, armed service as personal sacrifice for the greater population.
Reds and blues actually agree on almost everything they just explain it completely differently and fight while agreeing. The politicians however are like cartoons of the farthest views to cover for lobbyists running our government since like 1980.
Adding to what the other guy said, trying to get Republicans to convert to your side through FACTS and LOGIC is a fool’s errand. Always has been, always will be. This is why the Democrats keep losing; they focus too much on the enemy and not nearly enough on their own base (which, I should say, already outnumbers the enemy massively; they frankly don’t need anybody else).
This is mask-off fascism, which should horrify every US citizen, because it means they think they have already won.
Blame paddle-holding impotent Democrats unwilling to be aggressive and limp-dick Republicans scared of MAGA base. The government is full of dipshits scared of losing power
Ahhhh freedom (for the rich and powerful)
Sounds like Fascism.
Yeah, fascism is famously when you don’t care about “national security” and “the troops” enough.
Does anyone have a (reliable) (news) source on this?
Thank you!
Update on the second one here! https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/04/ozturk-detained-ice-dhs-inhaler-medical-care-disability-rights-tufts/
“Put our troops in danger” while they bomb the shit out of Yemen.
Bombing an entire apartment building full of civilians to get one guy and his girlfriend. Real heroic shit.
The IDF special.
Crazy how anyone is surprised by this. Republicans have always been authoritarian traitors.
Yeah, that’s the problem with Republicans, they’re not loyal enough to the glorious United States Empire
How are you JUST NOW learning this? This happened in 2020 too
2020 was not like this, this is new.
It’s extremely damning or American liberals that when they get leaked conversations of their leaders callously massacring civilians in a brutal war of aggression, their reaction is to start sqarking about “national security” and “the troops”.
Speak in a wavelength conservatives understand and support so that they also hate trump
Careful, folks around here don’t take kindly to Democrats trying to flip old school conservatives (see Harris bringing Liz Cheney on stage)… It seems like many people on this site think that her doing that was worse than anything a second Trump administration has and will do.
clearly not worse but it’s pandering and conceding to right wing rhetoric (which is also an increasingly problematic issue the Dems have). rather than leaning more right wing to capture republicans (and in turn losing left wing voters) they should lean into left wing populism
