What even is the logic for this? The UN has found it to be a genocide. The only explanation is distancing yourself from the pesky Left
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

Yes but Americans quote tweeting this with "pff why don't they want to fight our $150 bajillion military that has nukes" are also wrong and stupid

It would also not be okay for ICE to assassinate an immigrant
AOC: That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

War to Americans is an abstract, distant exercise. The last war on US soil was the US Civil War. The last attack by foreigners, even longer ago, about two centuries.
Are we at war with Venezuela?!?
I don't know. You don't know either.
It sure would be nice to have a legitimate Pentagon press corps right about now.

Median American voter: It's ok that he killed fishermen and slashed aid and medical research, but renaming a building is where I draw the line
So we may have found the single most unpopular thing Trump has done in 2025 - the vainglorious renaming of the Kennedy Center after himself (via Economist/YouGov):
18% approve, 66% disapprove
18% approve, 66% disapprove

The use of "nuclear" so flippantly by the only country to ever use nuclear weapons is.. Interesting
Yes, but it’s not a “nuclear option.” It’s the most basic, obvious, conventional option available if you want to actually do something effective. The fact that they’re not immediately promising it en masse tells us something, and that something is not good.
WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

As part of our equality and diversity initiative we will ask all job applicants their gender identity and sexuality as mandatory questions in the application form. And if they "prefer not to say" we will assume they are a minority 🙂

Those posts that are like "trumps approval is only 30%!!" really tick me off for some reason. Who cares? 50% of America voted for him just a year ago. Do you want elections every year? The only thing it proves is that Americans are fickle and their principles fly about in the breeze.

God, I hate this world order, it makes me sick. Americans re-elect the rapist clown and Africans and Asians die of thoroughly preventable diseases for lack of aid. Venezuelan fishermen get shot in cold blood. No one knows their names. Everyone else's lives are so cheap to you people, it's all a game

The only generation being brainwashed by AI videos is very visibly boomers
It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

If the American left wants to be serious about anti-imperialism I think they shouldn't consider military candidates at all. If a dude served in Abu Ghraib that should disqualify him even before he unbuttons his shirt to reveal his nazi tattoo

Oh no! Anyway
Antisemitism just very bleak to think about as an issue. Like in terms of how widespread a prejudice it was 20 yrs ago compared to today I don’t think think any other prejudice has seen more backsliding. Really just a combination of worst case scenarios.
