It’s hilarious how much power America had, both soft and hard, that they freely gave away. Also most of maga will align with pro-life sentiments, but how many babies, American and international, have died due to USAID and social programming cuts

    you're confusing "pro life" with actually caring about life. it really should be called "forced birth" or something similar.

    The right seems to fundamentally misunderstand how to actually wield soft power to get things they want.

    They operate in a world where they want to dictate behavior and have everyone below them fall in line.

    Of course they don't, soft power is soft, which means weak and the bulk of their voters need to feel strong. Even those who understand won't use it because it interferes with the short term goal of getting re-elected.

    If they were already born then it doesn't matter to them. Only non-born babies are important. Once you're born, then good luck.

    It's the best outcome. And the USA has shown their true colours and how they see themselves.

    The government has, TBF. The people can often be wholly against this and myriad other asshole tactics by their "elected" representatives. For the record.

    I see it in what seemed like great USA coworkers, the propaganda makes them think EFF yeah America #1. There is sadly some truth to the stereotype of Americans being dumb. Its not that they aren't intelligent, its that they are easily swayed by flags and fireworks.

    They've been chronically undereducated for over 50 years. The cult of anti-intelectualism has formed a populace unequipped to deal with basic logic and empathy. And an uneducated populace is much easier to control and steal rights and labour from.

    Governments in democratic countries are elected by the people and are a mirror of said country.

    One third of the USA voted for him knowing he is fascist and cared only about hurting minorities. Another third said we are sitting this one out knowing he is a fascist.

    So two thirds of three hundred million people voted for this outcome and you are here defending them.

    ASSHOLE.

    this is a big reason why I'm happy Trump won the second time. i am so fucking tired of hegemony, make me less relevant than Spain please

    Trump accidentally did exactly what communists had been hoping for for 25 years. we were never gonna give up our power, military acumen, and technological superiority willingly. this guy, though. he really can do anything

    My favorite outcome of Maga is showing the world why it's good to collectively pool power against the US and Russia. Blessings on your kingdom and your holdings, fookin hosers

    I prefer to spell "MAGA" with a "t" on the end. More accurate, honestly.

    US diplomats after Bonespurs has his final Big Mac Attack and MAGA disintegrates in orgy of backstabbing: "I don't suppose we can just pretend this all didn't happen?"
