If only the sitting Democrat president could show the same sense of urgency about housing and feeding Americans as he shows about shielding Israelies from consequence.
You can thank George w Bush for getting Americans perpetually at war, which gives the president the power to attack any time as commander-in-chief. No war? No commander-in-chief power.
I'm sorry dude. Perpetual American war started LONG before Bush Jr.
The difference is that before 2022 that half the nation rallied behind Republicans pushing that agenda.
Post 2022, Democrats are identical to neocons, they just use the terms "neolib" and "progressive", and liberals/former Democrats are told to just eat up the Progressive neocon bullshit. BeCaUsE tRuMp Is ThE eNd Of AmErIcA!
Even if Trump gets in, liberalism still exists in America. Good people are ready to step up and not let Trump end America.
The truly scary concept is not Trump, it's letting Progressives let the Democrat party die, letting liberalism in America die, because the Progressives convinced you that they are the only one true savior of America, while they advance conservative agendas and stomp out any liberal voice of dissent.
You say this like liberals haven't always been warmongers just the same
Well... Clinton air dropped on Yugoslavia instead of engaging in a war.
Democrat controlled Congress voted against the War on Iraq. Bush Jr just ignored them.
Obama did expand the war on Iraq and brought drone warfare to life.
I feel like you are saying "liberals" where you mean to say "Democrats".
Both political parties have people that dont conform with the core of the party, today manifesting as blood thirsty pro corporation Progressives dragging the Democrat party into the far right.
Liberals for the majority of my life are anti-war/pro-diplomacy/pro-care for the population.

Really though? The USA has been at war for 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776. I don't think Bush started the trend.
I think you spelled George Washington wrong.
