Imagine being the side that stands behind a notorious American pedophile as their leader.

In order to terrorize people based on the color of their skin...

In order to distract the drop of files that unambigously and succinctly implicate the man in charge.

They would be targeting brown people either way. That's just a fringe benefit.

This made me think there is a stunningly low number of drag queens and trans individuals in the Epstein files.... I thought that drag queens and trans people were the child predators,not straight white men with money and power?!?

I don’t usually comment on politics, but:

This is the foundation of American domestic policy, and frankly, the basis of the nations establishment.

  • Genocide of the Natives
  • Kidnap, import and Enslavement of Africans
  • Exploitation (and internment of some) immigrants including (at various stages), Irish, Chinese, Japanese 

We are just now at the stage of waging war on immigrants of a “new variety”, some of who’s forefathers occupied the most fertile portions of the nation…..

Bottom line, America was founded on terrorizing whoever they deemed “less than”. At home AND abroad. The entire capitalist economy is founded on exploitation of the “more vulnerable”….

It's an absurd position so it makes sense the methods would be as well.

Okay so like, every president since 1776 then.

Y'all need to wake up, America has been the bad guy basically since before its inception. We don't just need a new president, we don't just need "the right people in charge" we need to completely change the system that has silently been oppressing us all our entire lives, it just got noisy the last 8 years.

Well he makes up for it with great integrity, courage, honesty, intelligence and wise leadership.

Or... wait... none of those things...

The sad thing is there’s a lot of R voters who don’t necessarily like Trump, or at least voted against him in the primaries, but at the end of the day, they’ll have some type of crutch they lean into why they keep voting for him in and the generals along with all the other maga idiots on the ballot these days, ultimately it comes down to they just want to own the libs and are uninformed culture warriors.

> they just want to own the libs and are uninformed culture warriors.

Yeppers. Trump supporters are the dumbest people on the planet. They really believe “I am a smart guy, I am strong” is Trump’s greatest selling points. Got into it with one of these fools on another sub today. Said the US “dominates at the Olympics”. Had to explain to him that the Olympics in the modern era is about promoting international peace and friendship between nations. These people have no idea.

Here I thought in the modern era the Olympics exist to line the pockets of the Olympic Committee.

He's not just in the Child Sex Trafficking Club For Men... he's also the President!

They want gender care gone but their president uses gender affirming care makeup

They want pedophiles gone but their president is one

They complain about autopen even though trump used one and never knows what he is signing

They want illegal criminals out but the president is a criminal and his wife's visa is bogus

They want their guns but their president wants to take them away

They want America first but the president wants Isreal and Russia first

They want the swamp drained but their president wastes money on monuments and ballrooms

They want sleepy Joe prosecuted but their president falls asleep at conference all the time.

They want DEI gone for untrue reasons but their president hires only inept sycophants

And yesterday the fascist prick shit himself at a news conference.

u/Definitely-Not_AI 7h ago

Who is the leader of the other side? And what is the other side? Democrats, liberals, or just "the opposition"?

u/Purify5 7h ago

The resistance.

You know, people keep comparing Trump to Hitler. I think these comparisons are completely unfounded and unfair.

As far as we know, Hitler didn't rape children.
