    It’s not terribly different, just with less focus on the optics and mildly more brazen.

    We invaded Iraq for oil, we’re gearing up to invade Venezuela for oil.

    We have been cruel and exploitative to undocumented migrants for quite some time, but now it’s just dialed up and a little extra racist.

    They’re just doing it all in a way that makes you feel gross, which you should, but having shame about the evil being done doesn’t change the material harm.

      Compared to heavy fog, a tsunami is only mildly more wet.

      I swear to fuck, it’s like you drank paint as a kid.

          Care to tell me why I’m wrong, rather than make a silly analogy and call me names?

          If you seriously cannot detect any differences between the current state of global affairs, and the state of global affairs under any other presidential administration over the durationmof your life, then no.

          No, I don’t not care to tell you why you’re wrong.

          And are they really insults when they’re accurate?

            Things have basically always been getting worse over every administration. Usually just quicker over republican admins.

            It’s OK. You don’t need examples or data when you have vibes. I wish you well regardless.

              Dude is full of shit. The US government had funded coup detats, started illegal wars, and essentially raped other countries all for corporate business interests since the beginning. Its enslaved, genocided, and illegally jailed its own citizens for decades. Its affecting white middle class America now so suddenly its different
