I oppose war in Iran because was is detestable.

You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.

We are not the same.

When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”

I'm going to guess that Russia doesn't want us to enter the war.

Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.

I'm guessing everyone with a brain doesn't want the US to go into Iran. It's like these people didn't learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Learn things? With our education system??? Buddy! What do you think this is??? A different country? Who's this other country you're thinking about??? They sound like someone we need to go to war with! Do they have oil?

Saw polling where even Trump voters only have 25% support for attack on Iran, and majority of all demographics oppose by over 50%. There is a huge disconnect between zionist supremacist media and politicians, and American people. Not just war, but marjority of Amercians have unfavourable view of Israel despite absolute political/media dominance to "educate them".

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Polls also show overwhelming support for social security and taxing the rich, the GOP don't give af and the R voters won't change how they vote over this.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They are so close to realizing it.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They are absolutely not and will not under any circumstances actually go after Trump for any of this.

Kinda. MTG is ragging on Fox News, sure, but she's also both-sides'ing media outlets on the left with her full quote:

We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does

She's fishing for people to agree with her which legitimizes her claim that left-leaning news networks are just as untrustworthy as Fox News, which is an untrustworthy news outlet, but she doesn't say shit about Breitbart or OANN or any of the other right-wing superspreaders of misinformation.

So, she is a broken clock that's currently pointing at the correct time, but she did it in a way to sneak in an untruth or two in there hoping that people would pick up on that and amplify the message.

This is not a time to get hung up about identity politics, who's red, who's blue. Everyone should scream at the Trump regime that war with Iran is unacceptable and to never bring it up again.

There will be time for bickering afterwards about details, but right now, everyone against this war should circle the wagons.

And everyone not against this war needs to first say no to that war, second pick up an history book about Iraq and Afghanistan.

Feels weird agreeing with her

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

NO. It's weird that SHE agress with US.

Before you get too excited, this was an interview with OAN, and that she thinks people should be paying more attention to OAN

There's a youtuber I like that uses the term "weaponized autism" but this is more of a "ballistic brain damage" scenario.

A republican being anti-Fox News? That's a bold strategy.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 days ago (8 children)

I have heard some people refer to Fox News as being, and I quote, "liberal."

In fairness, these people are part of the MAGA crowd, so I assume they can't actually read and have no idea what the word "liberal" means.
