This has to be on purpose right? Like, he knows, he's fucking with us right?

    I'd love to ask these types like "hey how does it feel to be absolutely shameless, like so low you'd sell out your own mother for a nickel?"

    How is he selling anyone out? His interests are aligned with the bourgeoisie and he acts accordingly. Not that that's good, but the idea that politicians in a liberal democracy are "selling us out" when they don't act in our interests is a fundamental misunderstanding of the class relationship between the ruling class and the workers in capitalism.

    his lies are shameless, to be so brazenly false and to do it in a way that telegraphs that he fears no consequence (no immediate one will be likely to find him). it's the psychology of an entity that would never feel guilt.

    Oh, I totally agree. I just don't like seeing this talked about as "selling people out". He has genuinely never been on the side of the people he's hurting, so it's not a betrayal, and as I say I think it elides the class character of the relationship he has with workers/the nation as a whole to act as though it is a betrayal.

    Literally just have to change one word, "Iranian" to "American", and it would be 100% accurate.

    They must get off on this, like they go home and jerk themselves off over how they're literally accusing their enemies of what the US does and the US populace largely falls for it.

    on "tankies", does a fascist not love a tank? they've set to work co-opting a word from the anarchists that applies better to them than anyone else.
