US Politics The 2021 Former President Trump Thread - I look very much forward to showing my financials, because they are huge.

It’s hard to believe people still think voting matters. Lol I bet this why the Biden admin quietly hypocritically criticized Syria’s elections. Assad’s election was far more legit than Biden’s. It’s at least believable with Assad with the clear support he has online. Honestly I like Assad in many ways, his interviews are intriguing. Speaks a lot of truth about the establishment

I actually met him. My sister went to the same summer camp as his adopted daughter, who was a minority. If you actually know anything about him you wouldn't say he's a scumbag. He's a war hero and one of the few republicans I have a lot of respect for.

McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years, until his release on March 14, 1973, along with 108 other prisoners of war. His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.

not sure what else you have to do to be considered a war hero

What does that have to do with Senator McCain?

It was rich men in control of the military industrial complex fighting in the name of "democracy" who ultimately profited riches

has nothing to do with a patriot who became a senator and ran for president

He was hyped up to be a war hero by media. He got money and connections on his side. Also, being in war, getting captured and tortured doesn't make you a good politician. In fact, it might even make you kinda unstable.
Having minority adopted kids doesn't make you a good politician.
These guys are actors, even in my country these guys get consulting firms to tell them how to look good on camera, how to answer to questions and how to present yourself publicly and you think a elitist fuck like McCain hasn't got at least the same level of treatment? Sure.
Of course they're likable, they're trained to be.
There are tons of much more injured veterans from much more recent wars in US and you fucks can't even give them proper care. Many of them are homeless and it's very common that if soldier is very damaged after war and places big burden on their family, the family may not want to take care of them anymore and boom.. where's the safety net? Nowhere.
McCain, a warmongering scumbag who wants to send young men to fight even more wars to be tortured even worsely than he ever was, is a complete scumbag.

He's a tyrant just like his father was. He gets support online because people fetishize that kind of strongman authoritarian leadership.

He's less of a demagogue, though, more of a technocrat. Assad is definitely not a dummy and there are certain aspects of the Arab nationalist tradition that he's part of which are admirable, for example their healthcare and education systems, as well as tolerance for religious minorities within Syria. But otherwise the political tradition there is just as craven as any of the other pigshit ignorant dictatorships in that part of the world like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc...there's no limit to the amount of corpses he's willing to pave the foundations of his state with. If your response to that is "but that's also true of the forces who are aligned with the USA and affiliated international bodies (aka 'the establishment')", well that's hardly a glowing endorsement is it

I definitely get how people that don’t know a ton about the banking system could think this. They make the policy, write the history, create the narratives. Why are only the few hold out countries from the central bank/imf on the shit list? I think it’s a tough place to be as any leader, when you are being used for proxy wars and resource theft on a mass scale.
Also Assad is sort of Uwu, and he has some majorly based takes on central banking, the evils of neo liberalism, and tons of other topics. In short I don’t judge these leaders bc they are under insane pressure from the banks and all of the propaganda against them has a major effect on perception. Especially with neo cons, rad libs, neo liberals that are very trusting of the media and whatever narrative they are being fed. I still crack up that people believed that he gassed his own people while the global community was in the country watching, and they were taking back that very entire region from isis. It wasn’t even his enemies, but asking the obvious questions about the presented narrative is always ‘racist’ or ‘homophobic’ or ‘stupid’, it’s all so very tiring tbh

@TheLoveBandit i kind of hold substance users to a higher standard intellectually and I find it abhorrent that you support Trump. I voted forBiden, unfortunately. Don't *support* him, anyone who's supported a politician in America at least federally in the last 50 years is a schmuck

You’ve made an incorrect assumption of me, but it’s understandable and I won’t hold it against you. <3

I’ll respond more when I have a keyboard, I hate the phone.

Have keyboard, will respond (more).

You assumed I'm a substance user. That would be incorrect. I haven't used anything in a long time, but I used to. ☹️
You assumed I should be held to 'a higher standard intellectually'. That would be up for debate ;)

You assumed I support Trump. I'm sorry you find it 'abhorrent' but I respect your right to your opinion, and yes, this one was true. However, to clarify, I have no love at all for the arrogant tone deaf person more interested in his own ego than doing what is right. But I am of a conservative view on most issues, and his platform, agenda, and attempted Presidency was aligned with what I value for my country. You say you voted for Biden but don't *support* him. I voted for Trump, and I don't support the man, but what he represents I do support. I'd likely vote for him again, depending on what other options are available. He may be an ugly tool (in several senses of the words), but he was an effective tool for what I wanted addressed. Additionally, the way the left attacked him relentlessly, rather than doing their job, drove me to support him all the more. At the same time, it drove me to despise Democrat politicians more than I ever imagined.

In several posts you seem disappointed with ALL politicians, not just Trump. Here, I will agree with you, though I've never really cared enough to be that disappointed until Obama and Trump. Prior to that I was happy in my ignorance. But I'll agree nearly ALL politicians are a disappointment. And, I'll agree, Biden appears to not disappoint insomuch as he just occupies space, which in some things is good in that it prevents someone worse doing something worse, regardless of where one's political inclination may lie.
