    The US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.

    The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.

    This guy is just trying to out-asshole the orange king of assholes. It’s so weird to see people trying to gain popularity by trying to prove how horrible they are.

    Dude is trying so hard to appeal to Trump’s base, but it isn’t working.

    “They aren’t sending their best” used to be mask-off messaging that seemed too far. yea

    Haven’t we learned our lesson about unprovoked wars after watching East Europe for the past year and a half??

    @emizeko - not sure if you’re a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists’ work for them–but I’m sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I’m currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.

      If society as we know it putters along for a few more centuries there’s a significant chance that trump-anguish actually becomes the focus of a new religion.

        He already has, it’s called Christianity by its practitioners.

        Could cause some confusion, I know it’s re-using a name still in use by a smallish group of outliers.

        you can’t convince me the Mormons won’t deify Donald Trump centuries after they are the only american group to survive the climate wars. his hair is the same color as their golden tablets that aren’t real.

      Yeah, DeSantis should be good at this, sadly…

      I’m way more worried about this Facist than trump.

        Trump talks bigly but is not very effective.

        DeSantis is not charismatic at all but I think he would be effective at what he attempted to do.

          I used to be very certain about the “Desantis is the effective fascist we warned you about” thing but more and more his buffoonery comes out, and I don’t think he’ll be president. That said, he’s being pretty effective in Florida despite his buffoonery.

              It’s also a good illustration of the failures of Liberal Democracy. I think Florida is like 51% red 49% blue.

            A major problem with DeSantis is that he’d have more support from the military and the intelligence community than Trump, which is a massive problem if the GOP ever tries a more serious coup than Jan 6. I also think he’s an actual true believer when it comes to racism and transphobia. Trump uses these strategically, DeSantis seems to have a real, burning wish to exterminate people.

        Desantis is lagging Trump by 40 points. That could obviously change between now and '24, but he doesn’t seem to have the juice for this.

    This is why Trump will win. Trump maybe dumb, but he’s not that stupid to go around telling peoples he gonna invade this and that.

    AMLO merges the Sinaloa cartel into the Mexican military, insists less than 9% are still drug lords, praises El Chapo for being a Mexican revolutionary who was wrongfully imprisoned by the U.S.

    The Ku Klux Klan contractors marched towards Washington DC following a proposal by President DeSantis to force them to sign contracts with the Department of Defense. The president reassured black Americans that they don’t need to fear the Klan because they’re just American patriots, and no longer hateful

      Well, what AMLO did sounds borderline fascist. Maybe the Klan is a necessary evil? We’d better flood Mexico with weapons and then refuse to negotiate a surrender and hope that improves the situation.

    Certain groups in the US have been building up to this for a while. They genuinely do want a war with Mexico. They’ve been trying to use drugs as an excuse to do it.

    Here is an excellent video going into this when it all started to get quite serious and AMLO (mexican president) started to aggressively fight back against it: https://youtu.be/3dw1pcDoewY

    He’s also called the american media sphere trying to build up to this fascistic “hitlerismo”, comparing american media to goebbels.
