I literally never once heard the word “homeland” in a US nationalism context until a week after 9/11

    The crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away except with blood. A majority of Democratic voters say Israel is committing genocide with the U.S.'s help, and they don’t call themselves “former Democratic voters.” I’ve had people rant at me with disgust at my “purity” for . . . opposing genocide.

    There aren’t even any analogies to compare this to, it’s already as bad as it gets.

      If Biden wins the election again, there will be a day soon after that his press secretary will stand behind the podium and say that however-many millions of people voted for Joe Biden. Even though many of those people did so against their best judgement, many oppose everything that Joe Biden has done in his career, many would have never voted for him otherwise, except Trump was the other guy, the press secretary will say this as if that is however-many millions of endorsements of Joe Biden, everything he stands for, everything he’s done, and whatever he’s doing in the current news cycle. I’m not going to be one of those however-many millions of people. I’m not going to hear myself bring referred to as a reason that a genocide supporter will continue materially aiding an ongoing genocide.

        Yep. Like the chud I met in 2017 who said that Trump was deemed innocent of sexual assault because the voters absolved him. (He also pretended to forget that Trump lost the popular vote.)

        Looking forward to pundits claiming that Joe Biden has a mandate to continue supporting israel since he was voted in again. He’s just giving the people what they want and voted for after all agony-consuming

          They’ll say it about the border too. Democrats and republicans are both border hawks all of a sudden, and Democrats will hold both of these values at the same time.

          1. republicans are evil to the core and must be stopped at all costs. Their border bills are racist

          2. the only people that don’t agree with the border crackdown are tankies who want completely open borders. I don’t hate immigrants, I just hate illegal ones! Even the republicans agree! So you’re in the minority, kiddo. Let the adults in the room handle it from here smuglord
