When that first came out I honestly thought it had to be something an LLM spat out, because what he said was so close to the meme.

i don’t agree

Doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

What intellectual compromises must people who thought that a felon, rapist, pedo, bankrupt, fraudster would do good work on the economy ? or is it more likely he’s a racist trans hater like they are ?

History tells us that when the majority are starving, change is the most important factor. They had four years of knowing definitively that Biden and Harris, with all their stupid happy speeches, didn't care if their families starved. Of course they voted to get Democrats out. So wild that Democrats insisted they couldn't win if they ran on affordability, and then Republicans ran on affordability and it became a red wave in 2024.

it was because he promised to hurt brown people and because the brown people who supported him thought it would be other brown people. That and the trans and gays thing is why he was elected.

No, it wasn't, and that Donald has lost so many districts he won in 2024 since unleashing the Gestapo proves that. People wanted illegal immigrants deported. They didn't want legal immigrants to be terrorized, and the voters proved that at the polls.

you’d have to suffer some sort of mental defect to think he was going to do a great job on the economy, he’s about what’s good for DT, not what’s good for the US

You're being awfully cavalier about other people's mental defects when your point of ignores basic, verifiable facts.

you know there is a high chance you will be sent to a foreign country

Being sent to staff a base and being sent to a war are two totally different things. (At least until February 2026)

Or you would know it if the USA wasn’t the most propagandized place on the face of the earth.

The military itself opposed this, and that's in the public record. This president has a record of avoiding wars and disentangling the US from them, especially in Syria and Afghanistan. (Which, ironically, Dems opposed even though these wars had lasted decades.)

Iran and Venezuala are, rightly, unexpected, and if you're blaming reservists for their deaths then you're the one who's propagandized in this case. Can't exactly blame someone for dying in a war when all of the information they have is that it's (relatively) safe to be a US soldier and they can't read a demented person's mind.

after his year long backstabbing tour.

It's wild that someone with his status hasn't figured out that maybe we shouldn't bully every single country in the world, if only out of self-preservation and our own self-interest.

I really hate that we as a people no longer care if our presidents have functioning brains.

I remember these discussions being had in the 90's, and the excuse was always: "But it'll cost a lot and take decades."

And now here we are. Decades.

100%

I suffer from depression, so reminding myself of how fortunate I am is pretty important. I know objectively that, even with my struggles, there are billions of people who'd switch places with me if they could, and my life is pretty okay.

It's interesting what happens when a business moves out and it costs the bank more to clear a building than to just let it rot. You get a bit of a time capsule.

Same with the military, who literally told Donald not to do this.

"Show me something I won't even look at anyway, smart guy."

Seems like a case of bait-and-switch.

She was a reservist, meaning she was told she'd be training on weekends and working her regular job during the week. It should be illegal to send reservists to these wars of choice, but Dubya changed that during the War on Terror because no one wanted to go to Iraq and Afghanistan to die.

And I'm not comfortable blaming the soldiers just yet, when all the evidence we have is that the military and joint chiefs (sans Keg-Breath) told Donald not to do this and he told them to fuck themselves and did it anyway.

100% his best role ever.

To be fair, it wasn’t people “simply forgetting over generations.”

The other contributing factors you mention are correct, but it's eminently fair to say people simply forgot. Until 9/11, most Americans had no real connection to anything even resembling war, and the vast majority have no empathy whatsoever for the US genocidal foreign policy.

Hell, we still have whimsical snacks on grocery shelves called 'bomb pops' that are colored in red, white, and blue.

I've heard much of the same from my friends who teach middle and high schoolers: most alarmingly that they can put information up on the board, ask a question about it, and the students don't even connect that the answer is already in front of their eyes.

And sadly, a very common question they get is: "If AI can do this for me, why do I need to learn it in the first place?"

The worst part is that, in the short-term, the only recourse people have is suing social media and LLM companies, who are awash in cash and happy to settle, or throw their weight behind age verification, which in its various forms poses a security risk. Parents, clearly, are parking their kids in front of screens and unwilling to parent, so that's not something you can depend upon.

I'm just glad I never procreated, but this problem is going to affect us all when these kids try to enter the work force and can't actually do anything.

The hat thing is just a natural extension of no one in his orbit holding him accountable for decorum ever, which is most evident in his language. Sad to see, but yeah.

Christ, I hope it happens. Someone's metaphorical head needs to roll for this embarrassing, murderous rampage.

It would be nice to see someone, somewhere finally hold him accountable for refusing to pay his bills.

You're not wrong.

We have the Mad King in charge of all this, and to him, it makes perfect sense to carpet bomb tens of thousands of people in order to feel like a big boy.

Abso-fucking-lutely they will. Our people, by and large, are truly ignorant when it comes to the realities of war.
