    “We can and we must identify and map this threat and rebuild our counterterrorism architecture to defeat it,” Rubio said, describing a transnational threat from groups who target politicians and infrastructure that he said were motivated by a hatred of the West and its success.

    What fucking nonsense. If the Left is just made up of malcontents who are jealous of the West’s “success,” why are more and more Westerners joining the Left? Do they hate their own “success?” Or, could it be that not all of us have shared in this supposed “success.” Maybe “the West” doesn’t describe a civilization or a culture, but a class. A class of greedy, genocidal sociopaths.

      If they came out and honestly said “we will focus our antiterrorism efforts on suppressing workers’ attempts to organize” their cult rubes might smell something fishy (but probably wouldn’t).

        The rubes don’t realize they are going to be harmed by conservative schemes, but in the meantime, they get to thrill about the harm being done to those they have been trained to blame all their problems on. They think immigrants, gays, liberals, uppity women are the cause of them peaking in high school.
