    People will say “what about Gaza?” when it comes to Kamala. It blows my fucking mind that they think Trump or some fake third party vote will do anything.

    Trump cares about Trump and how much you will suck him off.

    This election is between two selections. Trump and Harris…Full Stop!

      Most of those people are either secret Trump supporters, have foreign interests, or are so brainwashed that arguing with them is pointless. They only use Gaza as a tool, if they actually cared they’d vote for the only candidate who can be swayed on the issue

        Actually I just think genocide is bad and thats really the whole thought process, it’s not very nuanced.

          Allowing a second term for the guy who moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and gave Netanyahu handies under the table is better for the Palestinians?

          Then you will want to vote for Kamala, and if she wins, you should protest and talk endlessly about how she should enact change.

          If Trump wins, protests will be pointless in this area. He will continue to fully endorse the genocide, and send massive amounts of weapons to help them. You think right now is bad… Trump will start WW3 without blinking.

      Let’s take this through to worse case for both sides.

      Harris doesn’t intervene in a foreign conflict.

      Trump becomes Emperor of USA (would that even be their name), women are slaves, anyone not white and male is threatened with violence, democracy dies, USA become an authoritarian, racist, violent oligarchy, the world burns through climate change and conflict… and Trump doesn’t intervene in the same conflict.

        …and Trump doesn’t intervene in the same conflict.

        Or intervenes more… to help the genocide proceed faster.

        BTW, he’d also hand Ukraine to Russia so that’s another genocide right there.

        Trump will definitely intervene and bomb the shit out of Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. This is the guy who took the most insane extreme option and killed that Iranian general.

        I’m not sure how “tens of billions of dollars of military aid” counts as not intervening in a foreign conflict.

        It is a bit galling to be told endlessly that we must shut up and choose when the choice is “genocide or more genocide”, even when the reason Harris is on the top of the ballot at all is as a result of speaking up about the issues with Biden. I’m not all that comfortable merely accepting that, to escape the chopping block myself, I must remain silent about my family members. I’m sorry that Harris is so tied to Israel’s expansionist agenda that my inability to stomach rampant slaughter is threatening her and the Democratic party’s chances against Trump and the Republican party, but I can’t let some tens of thousands of killing go.

    “The firefighters. They all came to me with tears streaming down their eyes. I remember Steve Buscemi was one of them. He was there,” recounted Fat Donald, “They said, ‘sir, we wanted to save them but they said they hate you. They were so mean.’ It was the biggest fire we’ve ever seen. So tremendous, nothing like it in history ever. We didn’t start these fires. It was always burning since the world’s been turning. Marciano, Liberace, Eisenhower, goodbye.“

    “This is Trump country — and they need your help,” DeSantis pitched Trump.

    “They love me in the Panhandle,” the former president said. “I must have won 90 percent of the vote out there. Huge crowds. What do they need?” Shortly after the conversation took place, Trump signed an executive order commanding the federal government to cover “100 percent of the total eligible costs” related to the hurricane response.

    Shortly before he took it upon himself to politicize the response to Helene, the former president threatened to withhold aid for natural disasters from Democratic strongholds.

    “We won’t give him money to put out all his fires,” Trump said of California Governor Gavin Newson, a Democrat, in September. “And, if we don’t give him the money to put out his fires. He’s got problems. He’s a lousy governor.”

    Seriously wtf

      Then California should use their own money to put out the fires rather than giving it to the federal government. We give more than we get.

      This is sickening.

      There might be the occasional lone MAGA supporter living a closeted life in these areas. So in theory he’s willing to burn his own supporters to get … I’m not even sure what.

      Definitely a contender, but only because so many enablers have given him an incredible amount of power. Otherwise, he’d be a pretty standard asshole businessman.

        I dunno mate… Even Bezo’s moved to more environmental packaging of his crap.

        Whereas Trump would blame the trees for causing global warming, and offer to package his chinese junk for extra money with a trading card made out of the suit he wore when he was engaging in the insurrection

    I’ll never understand how Trump cultists can read things like this and still think he is a good choice for President.

    • There are many many layers, conservative media and social groups and psychological barriers, that act like an immune system, all in place to prevent information like this from actually being seen or acknowledged.

      No information typically makes it past the first barrier, conservative media, which simultaneously floods the information channels with anti-left messaging. If it does, their social groups are there to discount it or kill it. If the information makes it past that, their brains are trained to resolve the cognitive dissonance to reject or disbelieve it.

      And that is why we’re really screwed. There’re things like this all the time that should be killing Trump’s candidacy. The system in place to prevent that is disturbingly effective.

    None of this is surprising. It feels like we hear shit like this every single day, and yet half the country still feels like they want this clown back in office.

    Propaganda is a helluva drug. Nancy Reagan would blush.

    Trump does this MAGA assuming it’s affecting only Democrats.

    MAGA: Good. They deserve it.

    Trump lies about disaster relief aid being given too slowly from the Biden administration to assumed MAGA states.
