RFK jr.? Marjory Taylor Greene? Lauren Boehbert? Kari Lake?

Seriously, it's hard to know who is the craziest these days.

usually I'd put my money on Marge, but it's missing the trademark antisemitism, so maybe not.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Even among the sub-70 IQers of MAGA, MTG is in a league of her own.

It’s not in all caps, so you can cross Trump off. Gotta be MGT since they provide no proof of the claim.

Im not sure its missing...who is 'they'

[Senator Clay Davis]

You would think at some point soon MTG and Bus Tits will be together in the same room at the same time. Maybe at the "Chemtrails Truther Convention"?

Jewish Space Laser MTG?

That could quite possibly create a Singularity of Stupid that may cause the End Times.
Lets not risk it.

Yeah, that's completely idiotic. Some will point and shout and say, "well, that's how bad Trump is!!!!", but maybe we can evaluate Harris thinking that Cheney has somehow served the US well during his time in office?

You could for example do phone banking. I'm sure there's online options too.

Thanks for sharing; I really enjoyed reading this.

These are exactly the type of people that you'll find everywhere - all of these stories seem very familiar.

Meanwhile, Obama and Biden inherited economic collapses from their predecessors, and spent their presidencies cleaning up the mess, all while facing constant obstruction from the GOP in congress.

Maybe, just maybe, the Republicans have been the problem this whole time, despite what you may have been told.

Did the democrats despite having the opportunity to fix these things. Both Clinton, Biden and Obama had House and Senate majorities. (Bidens was tenuous with Manchin but the others weren’t) Obama was significant enough to pass health care reform. They have chosen not to undo destructive policies because they are also funded by the same Benefactors to many of these polices.

You can’t hand wave 20 years of democratic presidencies away from the current situation. They are complicit.

Were the wars bad for the US? They were bad for everyone else, but they worked out pretty well for the US overall. Sure, some poor people who joined the army because they had no other viable options died fighting for the US, but that's never been a big concern for Americans.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If you ignore the trillions they lit on fire to enrich Halliburton and Raytheon shareholders and the opportunity cost of what that money could have done instead those wars weren't all that bad at all...

[calumniate]

Merrick Garland is becoming the new James Comey in my eyes. What the hell did he do in the last 4 years. He waited until the third year of Biden's term to do anything at all. Loser

It's a debate that I'm sure could go multiple pages long, but I'd consider the ~$2T cost of the Iraq invasion, the change in attitude about America around the world, the degradation in trustworthiness of their leaders for pulling their allies into a war on a lie, and the numerous polls of the American public who disagree that the invasion made Americans safer, just to name a few things, would point to the invasion being bad for the US.
