I don’t just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of “legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community” top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we’re Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they’ve slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

      That’s their latest thing yeah. “Well see you both agree with Republican ideas of isolationism and therefore you must ACTUALLY be right wing.”

      Libs plz. We believe in US isolationism because we want the US to stop fucking around with the rest of the world and leave the rest of the world alone to figure itself out without being bombed and coerced into doing what the US wants the world to do. The right believes in US isolationism because they’re nationalists who believe the US should only help ourselves and should never help anyone outside our borders. We’re literally polar opposites. There is no overlap in those 2 viewpoints.

        This is charitable to the right and left of US politics. Neither the dems and the GOP leadership are isolationist in any sense, they only pretend to be when they are not currently in power. They pretend to be isolationist in different ways to appeal to their base - see Obama’s smart wars/dumb wars and the current GOP talking points about pulling out of ukraine in order to go to war with china/mexico. Some parts of the electorate are actually isolationist for different reasons, but the opinions of the American electorate don’t matter at all in the context of foreign policy. The opinions of the electorate of America’s various vassal states matter even less for foreign policy issues.

        I don’t disagree with you, I’m saying that the liberal conception of left/right is even fucking stupider than what you’ve said because these libs live in an imaginary world where there is actually a foreign policy difference between the dems and republicans. in actuality, the next time there is a GOP president/congress then these same libs will be the ones on the side of isolationism while the GOP are actively advocating for poking other countries in the eye.

        When we say “isolationism” we mean “quarantine”… think-mark

          The paleocons did and still do favor isolationism. There are multiple tendencies on the right as on the left

      I knew it wasn’t going to be long before they started calling us MAGA Communists. They can’t fathom people who can laugh at Trump and not be completly deranged over him destroying DEMOCRACY ™ so we have to secretly be supporting him.
