The military has done some horrible stuff but going back 50+ years to prove how they feel today seems a stretch.

I was stationed in 29 for a while. They seemed like good people, I hope they still are.

Yeah this isn't that bad. When I was in the Marines you catch sleep where ever or when ever you can. I've slept on so many different floors and types of ground. You get used to it honestly.

I hate that I have to agree with you

She's bringing the right energy

You're right, it's a cult by every measure. I just think there are levels. There's the "I will praise Trump as he strangles me to death" type people. But there are also the "I vote R because I like guns" or "I'm against abortion." A lot of people do end up voting on a single issue or a select few. I think being shot at might make those people reconsider.

They might abandon him when people start shooting back. That's what it will take

Still haven't answered the question, just tossing insults, like a child.

Am I insane? I'm not the one crying that people aren't fighting for me hard enough while I do nothing. Demanding others do what you won't.

You're new here, from reddit I'd guess, it shows my guy. Get out of here with your nonsense.

I dunno about that. I served in the USMC and everyone was pretty left leaning in the sense of "why the fuck do I care about the color of the person covering me, we're all Marines."

Many people serving are also minorities from low income, using the military as a step to building a life. Those people didn't seem Republican to me.

No, but I'm also not berating people for not doing more.

You seem fine judging people saying they're not doing enough. I mean, you wouldn't do that unless you were walking the walk right?

Or are you just a keyboard warrior lol. Yelling at people to do stuff you're not ready or willing to do. You want everyone to fix your problems for ya huh?

But you didn't answer my question because you know all that.

Are you?

Given the general reaction to Lugi I'd be more inclined to think they just paint themselves as the villain. People, not everyone but some, are realizing what's going on. They tell their friends and so on.

People that I know who never cared about politics are taking strong stances. I know it looks grim but I feel like the people are waking up and this is the reaction to that, but in this day and age you can't stop a large shift that easy.

Just gunna gloss over everything I said huh, ignoring how this convo started, sure. The irony is you only prove my point that you want to just look at someone in the past to blame instead of holding the current admin accountable for actions they've taken. You're simping for the current president who's best friends with the richest guy on earth, acting like he's helpless.

I mean if you want to ignore nuance and any role Trump had to play in it sure, it's all Biden's fault. I guess he was just so helpless. He didn't want to mass deport people or deploy the military, Biden made him. He didn't want DOGE to create massive debt and disrupt essential services, Biden made him. I sure hope at some point in his 4 years he's able to take control of the country from Biden. For being such a strong, big, tough guy he sure seems like some old ex president can easily undermine everything he wants to do while Trump has his entire party behind him, backed by the richest man in the world lol. What a victim, there's nothing he can do! Won't someone please think of poor Trump!

Trump's actions caused these riots. Not Biden. Trump deployed the military there. Not Biden. Are you having a stroke? Were you asleep for the last 6 months? I mean all this info is out there.... Or is this one of those things like when the economy is doing good it's Trump's economy, but when it's bad it's Biden's economy. That way you don't have to take any responsibility and still get the credit.

However, let me explain why you make no sense and clearly have a loose grasp of basic logic. Based on your logic everything bad that happened during Biden's term was the same right? It's not Bidens fault, it's Trumps. You don't think that the idea of blaming the president directly before Biden for creating the conditions for Biden is insane, right? So anything Trump is dealing with now is actually his own fault because he set up Biden that way. Either way it all comes back to Trump. I mean, unless you follow this BS logic, then no one ever needs to take responsibility for their actions, just blame the last guy! See how broken your cult logic is?

Acting like Trump has no fault for the choices, actions, and words he chooses is pathetic. You sound like a MAGA cultist through and through my guy. Baaaa louder, maybe you'll drown out reality fully one day and finally find all the scapegoats you need to feel secure in your world view.

TL;DR - Apply your "president directly before X" logic to Biden too instead of just your cult leader, and you'll maybe realize how flawed it is.

Let’s ignore the specific actions that have clear and direct lines leading to what’s happening right now and attack the concept of causality itself with vapid smarmy internet trolling.

You mean like the very comment I first responded to?

don’t worry guys, the libs will vote for another geriatric. this will all be over in about 3 and a half years.

You seem lost lol.

But sure, you can be overly self-serious and pull all the threads you want. I'm sure if I pulled the threads, I could find a way to blame the Founding Fathers for a lot of this, too. At some point, you need to stop looking at the past and blaming people like it does anything and instead look to the future and the changes you can make.

But then you couldn't complain online with cringe name calling like "deporter in chief" instead of talking about the topic like a big boy.

I mean, why stop at 8 years ago? Can we work Truman into being responsible for this, too?

I'm just surprised you're not blaming Obama.

That's a really long way to say Capitalism.

Well if he didn't die, it was just part of God's plan. Unless he did die. Then it was part of God's plan, obviously.

I think if God has a plan, then telling everyone he can smite people, then never doing it isn't a good look haha.

Eroding your critical thinking to the point where your think magic is real can be damaging. I see this man as doing a public service no different than flat earth debunking. People need to understand BS when they see it and this guy is helping.
