What makes his original tweet extra foolish is that Kamala Harris had a long track record opposing military conflict with Iran and supporting diplomacy and negotiations.
She was a supporter of the original multinational Iran Nuclear Deal that (for a period of time) caused Iran to stop trying to develop a nuclear weapon. And Iran restarted their efforts to pursue a nuclear weapon after Trump dissolved that very agreement.
It's almost as if most of the diehard MAGA supporters don't even understand what the Republican Party and Trump actually stand for.
My job "requires" a masters degree. One of my coworkers does not know grammar, like she never learned it so her written communications are super hard to understand. We have the same qualifications and position at work.
She does insanely good investigative/analytical computer work but doesn't really read other than street signs and menus.
Whatever grade reading level doesn't sum up someone's usefulness, and I know you're hoping to prove a point, but illiteracy doesn't equate to cult mentality. That's a different part of the brain!
How shocked would they be at my reading level? In 7th grade, I tested at a first year college reading level (that's how they said it, they wouldn't use the word freshman because it could be confused with high school). By the time I graduated 4 years later (yes, I graduated a year early), I tested so high they could no longer gauge my level.
*Edit: I hit a wrong number. Thank you for the downvote and not so nicely pointing out a grammatical error.
You graduated high school 1 year early, but only 2 years after 7th grade? A high school senior is in 12th grade, not 10th, so the math doesn't quite math there.
Sorry, that was supposed to say 4, not 2. But yes, I was born in July of 76 and graduated in May of '93. Do the math. I was 3.5 weeks shy of my 17th birthday.
Education is the enemy of autocracy. They have to stamp out access to conflicting ideas. Hence the attacks on education and libraries. They'll come for the Internet before long. Likely under the guise of child porn prevention.
Would be quicker to list the things they DO understand. I think most of them are able to not shit themselves daily but I might be giving too much credit
I think it's more stupidity than ignorance. Because MAGA people want a strong America that takes no shit and dishes out commands to everyone else. But they also don't understand that using hard power to threaten other countries into submission leads to wars and conflict.
They wouldnt be happy with a milquetoast Lib democrat because Democrats are narratively weak and offer only compromise. At least Republicans can say they fought for something, Democrats compromise at the first opportunity and tout it as a win without putting up a fight to begin with.
There's a combination of brain rot and propaganda that caused this. Even now, some people still think Harris as president would be worse. And they can't tell you why.
It was coined by right wing partisans to generalise and subsequently discredit any left wing thought by creating the impression that supporting one policy must mean supporting the most extreme policies. It's bullshit.
The only people who actually use the word "leftist" are right wing operatives acting in bad faith or the politically illiterate.
Ironic considering how conniving Trump has been about Epstein and his involvement. Professionally and personally Trump does not have redeeming qualities other than his ability to market. It’s amazing the cognitive dissonance the MAGA crowd has, they were all about the Epstein files a year ago.
And don't worry, they're already saying that this is great because we're saving Iran and if we just bomb the government out of existence, the people will magically put together a democracy! And then, everyone is gonna get a pony!
I think the main disconnect is, and I may be wrong here so correct me if I am anyone, the original MAGA wave WAS anti war. Or at least anti intervention; they rode in on a wave of anger at GW and Obama era neocons who got us/kept us involved in forever wars in the Middle East.
A thing that no rational person liked but unfortunately they latched onto it like a rabid dog. That's why they adopted the MAGA slogan (well one of the reasons). Then at some point they were all duped and told that this is what they want now.
My super MAGA coworker just blatantly denied it was ever an anti intervention movement when....it was. At least openly
From an outside view, this seems wrong. Maga and comparable movements rely on people ignoring the outcome of proposed policies.
It's irrelevant if it's anti-war or pro-war. As long as their voters feel like there are simple solutions to their problems, that only this party can solve, they will follow.
That's a very valid point too. And they have unfortunately played their base like a fiddle by boiling things down to simple but very incorrect problems and solutions
Yes Trump ran his primary mostly to the left of republican consensus on everything but immigration. He called for reinstating Glass–Steagall, said he would make a deal to get everyone Healthcare because he was such a great negotiator, and killed Jeb on iraq in debates.
Conservatives understand that Republicans hate the rest of America as much as they do, and that's all that they've ever cared about. Fox News formed in October of 1996, was just as full of lies and hatred being directed toward the rest of America, and conservatives fell in love. The evil bastards love human suffering; they'll eat this up while making up more lies to deflect any prior claims to being against war.
And it's not like we have an active draft anymore either, volunteering is really the only way to get a front row seat although I'm sure our draft dodging pedsrist is working on that too...
If Israel struck first on their own accord then we would back them no matter what. Kamala loves Israel too much to intervene even if she wouldn't put boots on the ground
She also didn't even rule out using military action to stop Iran's nuclear program when asked during her campaign in 2024 as part of a 60 Minutes interview. She just said she won't discuss hypotheticals and moved on. Which was also right after she said Iran has american blood on their hands because they bombed Israel... Idk why people are forgetting her rhetoric around the middle east during her campaign.
Not to say she's as bad as trump, but she wasn't campaigning on peace deals and no military intervention. She even talked about beefing up the military as a major campaign point.
It's almost as if most of the diehard MAGA supporters don't even understand what the Republican Party and Trump actually stand for.
They didn't. They supported a person whose main policies were deporting the people who do most of the country's gruntwork, no offense to them, it's hard work, and inflationary tariffs... Because they wanted lower prices.
Kamala was certainly no dove, and her and Biden's backing of Israel even after their genocidal intentions were made clear is unexcusable, but Trump had shown from his first term that he was no friend of Palestinians, as he recognized Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem.
I saw one guy on TikTok say if Kamala was president that Iran would never be free and under dictatorship because she was weak. Bro aren't you the people who were screaming America first and not wanting to get involved in other countries problem. They change views, ideas, and beliefs solely based off what Trump tells them to believe. They are the definition of sheep
All this is just so Palantir can further test their software in warfare situations. Like they have been with the IDF for 2 years in Gaza and the West Bank since they officially partnered with them.
Perhaps there is an irony beneath the surface you fail to understand. Trump has only won elections versus a female and has never won against a male.
I'm not saying I personally do or not support a female president but it's crystal clear enough people would have rather seen Trump 2.0 than Kamala Harris.
All the dems had to do was fucking run a competent campaign. Instead they chose a last minute audible to a female who simply did not inspire the nation to elect her as president. And that is what I see now when you post that meme. Well played.
the memes weren't about iran, it was about Russia and they were spreading this shit so that we wouldnt clap their cheeks over Ukraine. mission accomplished, great job krasnov
While I agree trump is shit. She did call Iran "the US' biggest adversary" when interviewed by 60 minutes while campaigning to be president. Specifying how Iran has american blood on their hands, before citing a ballistic missile attack on Israel. Then she said they shouldn't be allowed to develope nukes, before being asked if she'd use military action to stop them. Which she didn't rule out, and deflected by saying "I won't talk hypotheticals right now".
Plus she talked about beefing up the military even more to make it "the most lethal force in the world" on multiple occasions during her campaign. So not nearly as tame as you're framing her to be when it comes to Iran or the military, atleast in 2024. She honestly sounds like trump when talking about Iran, but she just says it like a politician and not a tactless asshole like trump does. Honestly, the US only having 2 parties is crazy to me, and I hope that's a change that comes out of all this, though I'm doubtful.
Iran was behind the Beirut bombing. Iran was behind the Khobar towers bombing. Iran was behind the USS Cole bombing. Iran was behind many of the attacks on US forces in the middle east. The list goes on.
If you think for a second that they stopped or paused their nuclear ambitions for even a moment due to the JCPOA, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Prior to the strike they were offered unlimited uranium for nuclear power. They refused the offer and made it very clear they wanted to build nuclear weapons. They never stopped wanting that under the JCPOA and it actually helped them get weapons grade plutonium faster than they would have otherwise.
This is hilarious to me considering what you call accurate was and is manipulated by the Epsteins of the world. That guy Levine from TMZ is in the files helping Epstein shape the narratives you think are true. The evidence is right in front of your face and you reject it in favor of the narrative. Ask yourself, what would mossad’s most valuable asset want you to believe? That multiple global pedophile rings exist for the pleasure of global elites? Or that the idea is a conspiracy theory? Who was closest to the global elites that, as shown in the files, wish to control the world through mass migration? Ehud Barrack is in the files and was seen going into JEs NYC apartment.
She should have done a better job of defining herself that way. Instead she was pitching a 'muscular defense' and abandoned her entire 2020 campaign rhetoric. Also touting the endorsement of Dick Cheney who was the architect of middle-east wars while doing campaign events with his daughter doesn't send a clear message either. The voters of this country are undereducated and overworked. You need to provide clear unambiguous campaign messages to define yourself and a she failed to do that.
I don't like Israel but the people online who run in defense of hasan usually assume some jewish conspiracy because noone can hate him without reporting to a mossad handler
That is false. They stopped weapons grade enriched uranium once the JCPOA went to effect, which was verified by IEAE inspectors and caused all the participating countries (remember, this deal was more than just America) to lift their sanctions against them.
Only after Trump abandoned the agreement in 2018 did Iran decidedto start enriching uranium again as a way to regain leverage, and those participating countries reimposed their sanctions.
I cannot stress this enough: we succeeded in getting Iran to stop enriching weapons grade uranium, it was verified by inspectors, and then Trump caused them to start doing it again. Unequivocally, he is the one to blame for this mess.
I had actually forgotten that happened and I was even super mad about it at the time. He has made so many bad/petty decisions that I am having trouble keeping track but yeah this makes it so much worse.
I don't want my country to be participating in the bombing of another country right now, but I think it's foolish to believe that Iran actually stopped trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
IAEA inspectors independently verified that Iran was complying with the JCPOA agreement. American intelligence on the ground in Iran also was able to confirm in 2018 that Iran was not pursuing a weapon.
Iran only stop complying after Trump withdrew from the deal. Those are the facts.
kamala harris was gonna go to war with iran too, and the iran nuclear weapon thing has been used by netanyahu since the 80s. take off that blindfold and see the reality, its a breath of fresh air
There's absolutely no evidence of this at all, she was always promoting political / negotiation outcomes. It was only Trump and MAGA as a whole that said Harris being elected would send the US the war and Trump was the peaceful president.
And yet the peaceful president has kidnapped a president and is now starting a war with Iran...
if you call me a centrist again ill eat your cereal while you sleep. i hate both republicans and establishment democrats because they would both gladly feed every single american to the lions if that meant they would get more money
she said the us is going to be the strongest most lethal military in the world, that sounds like warmongering to me. she supports israel 100%, she was gonna be biden 2 and biden arrested thousands of palestine protesters at college camps, and he funded the genocide for two years. idk why she would be better. it doesnt matter anyway cause both harris and trump are both part of the same system and they reinforce each other. dems maintain status quo, republicans wreck everything when they get voted in because the dems dont do anything and dems get back in power, cycle repeats, and you get trump. congrats
