Cool. Now we don't have to pay for and supply your military needs. Enjoy!

Considering the demographics that fall into idolatric pro-liberal or anti-Trump tendencies, fan fiction is huge, so why not create your own that the usefuls will lap up?

That, and of course the tried and true projection of their own faults and crimes onto the opponent.

We got here by being complacent and easily manipulated and then cowed.

The comment, since it was publicly stated to the media, was certainly for everyone with ears who was listening. I'll never agree that being seen as wanting war and violence on a scale such as that is a good thing. You can be good at war, confident in it, but also not be seeking it. It's simply not a good look, or good morals to be known as a warmonger.

Not really good optics, honestly.

"It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it." -- Robert E. Lee.

Having your enemy agree to terms IS winning. It is not a good look to be wanting war.

The government is abdicating duty and responsibility for safety. It's quite obvious what should be done, but instead people will continue pointing fingers at one of two parties. Divided we continue to fall.

Because the United States of America is full of useful idiots and paid agitators.

They don't want you owning property or living outside of cities. They don't want small businesses to exist any more. Things like this are all steps designed to further these goals.

The 'sit back and do nothing' line of thinking is exactly why we're where we are at today. In what other areas of life is it a good thing to just do nothing and expect either the problems to go away or for others to fix all the problems? Why are we so content to do this with politics?

Edit* It's amazing what people will tell themselves to avoid doing anything, or to allow themselves to keep thinking doing nothing is an actual course of action.

Liberal people were seeded into all sorts of 'public' service type positions through favorable schooling methods for the past 20+ years.

Liberal people have been programmed for moral relativism, and to view political ideology as the basis for their identity. They have also had common decency, dignity, and self respect de-programmed from their identities.

This causes them to view not just political opposites, but anyone who doesn't join their hive mind, as less than human entities who are assaulting their very identity. Therefore they feel no moral restraint or sense of 'humanity' when their emotion outrage is triggered.

Political tyranny disguised as 'think of the children.' Make no mistake, the government doesn't give a crap about 'deepfake' stuff, unless they can use it to tighten control.

These people don't view others as human. It's why they can cry about one of 'theirs' being killed but revel in the murder of a 'bad guy,' aka anyone who isn't firmly and vocally on 'their side.'

This is the result of programming, and unfortunately, many of these people have permanently gone off the deep end. These people can and some eventually will begin committing atrocities because they have dehumanized their political or ideological opponents, which justifies their rhetoric and the escalation of violence.

Most of the time movies either try to make something seem too far fetched to be believable, even though it may currently be happening in real life, or they try to normalize it (think the oodles of cop shows where the good guys are constantly trampling on citizens' rights to catch the bad guy, and everyone at home goes along with it).

All the data everyone posts on the internet. All the tracking data via phones. Every conversation or query via Siri and Alexa and the like. And now all the data from ChatGPT and Grok and every other AI.

Every conversation is stored somewhere. Every purchase with a card or your phone's wallet is logged. Everything you watch on a streaming service is logged. Your searches are logged. How many people have those car insurance devices so they could save 5%? Those are tracking not just where you go but how you drive. Your gaming habits are tracked and logged. The list goes on and on.

There's a reason they're called 'useful idiots.'

They're forcing more use of military and federal power to control the states. Then the precedence is set for the future when they go full dystopian.

Wayfair, the totally wasn't human trafficking website? Verified to not have done anything wrong by countless liberal fact checkers. Because everyone was buying $100k dressers online, right?

16th Amendment to the constitution.

You are still required by US law to file taxes. Just because the organization tasked with collecting them is in chaos doesn't mean the law is gone.
