    When Democrats inevitably take power again, and refuse to prosecute these war crimes, remember this to remind yourself that they are the enemy as well, even if not the immediate one.

      I’d argue Democrats coming back to power isn’t inevitable, far from it. America is in for either revolution, civil war or decades of fascist rule. Something needs to give before corporate centrists can hold power in America again, and so far it hasn’t.

        They’re called elections.

        And before you tell me Trump is going to rig them, they just lost the last batch of them.

        So please stop spreading the lie that civil war is inevitable, or that it is more likely to happen than simply MAGA losing power through elections.

          He’s going to rig them and, if that fails, just launch a coup.

          they just lost the last batch of them.

          Yes, because they didn’t actually need to win those. He still has a loyal majority in Congress.

          So please stop spreading the lie that civil war is inevitable

          Someone disagreeing with you isn’t “a lie,” and besides, you should look at what fascism looks like historically. Did the Nazis get voted out post-Enabling Act? This is Trump’s last chance to become the fascist dictator of his dreams and he and his handlers won’t let it go over their dead bodies.

        Why would they though? The military is by design authoritarian. They’re fucking loving the fascist revolution.

        How many people signed up to go to Afghanistan, just to shoot brown people? It’s filled with racist pieces of shit, with a boner for being dominated by an angry prick with an inferiority complex and a crew cut.

    How did we get to a reality where TV personalities are in charge of armies and command them to kill indiscriminately on a drunken whim?

      Capitalism. When you have nothing, own nothing and can’t afford anything and robber barrons point out some mythical enemy responsible for all of that many people fall for it out of desperation and racism of course.

    Gotta cover up your war crimes and lies. Survivors could tell the world that they’re innocents, not ‘narco-terrorists’, and prove the US is attacking Venezuelan boats on bullshit supposed Intel to try and incite retaliation to justify their war they absolutely intend to start.
