Pretty sure that USA hasn't gone to war in like 80 years. 1942.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States#Declarations_of_war

I'm being sarcastic but this is literally true according to state double-speak. We've had almost a century of peace!!!

It's been a year and I still can't believe how stupid Americans are. He was president before. You knew he shouldn't be. Yet You elected him again.

Reddit is suppressing and botting the fuck out of this right now. So many posts cheering and saying it's all the Iranian government's fault.

Make posts linking the US admitting that we made the Iranian currency value drop to nothing on purpose just to cause protests and riots and it gets down voted into oblivion. Seriously dead internet theory. It's like the bots and shills now actually outnumber humans who have bothered to read anything about anything. o_O

Is this Trump's "Domain Expansion"?

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

No, that'd be him shitting his pants.

Can you imagine how much better the world would be if:

  1. Trump voters actually acknowledged they made a mistake
  2. Trump voters decided not to vote anymore because they realize they make bad decisions

That's all it would take. They wouldn't have to commit to doing better research next time. They wouldn't have to try to defend some of what Trump did, or decide which GOP candidates are actually being honest. Just say "Wow, I fucked up. I shouldn't vote."

It's like an alcoholic who wakes up in a puddle of their own puke. They can try to be more careful in their drinking. Or, they can decide "I can't be trusted around alcohol". But, it's not like voting in a controlled way is fun, the way moderate drinking could be fun. Voting is a chore. It should be a relief to be able to say "I don't have to pay attention anymore, I'm a gullible idiot, let other people take the reins".

That probably wouldn’t do as much good as the people who didn’t vote at all got off their ass.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Including the ones who would have voted for Trump? Including the ones who live in states where the outcome is so one-sided that their votes would not have changed anything? Why is it that you think somehow people who didn't vote are more responsible than the ones who did?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Sounds like you didnt vote and personalizing this and been cooking that defense for a bit.

Everyone who was gonna vote for Trump did. They got paid to

Either way: get out and vote. Don't be an ass. It is your one and one one job to do to prevent this shit and you failed at that this time. Don't you ever ever forget that. No one else will.

What makes you think I live in the USA?

Everyone who was gonna vote for Trump did. They got paid to

Wow... And I suppose Trump is actually a lizard wearing human skin?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 9 points 17 hours ago

That would take humility something most Trump voters don't have in my experience. Seriously the fucken ego on some of them makes my literal ego filled Southern Aristocrat ancestors seem like fucken monks, mind you that's just the boomers and gen X ones in my experience with younger ones just being stupid or mentally ill in my experience.

And if you didn't vote for Harris you voted for Trump.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

People who voted for Trump voted for Trump. Go talk to them.

Blaming anyone else is not only an unhinged attempt to claim some sort of moral ownership of an entire bloc, it isn’t even supported by any reasonable reading of the statistics.

This kind of obsession with whipping other people into maintaining an entrenched two-party system is exactly how America let itself spend the last 40 years getting slowly dragged to the Right in the first place.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 8 hours ago

Every Dem candidate since 1976 has been close to Jimmy Carter.

Every GOP candidate since Reagan has moved further Right.

I've seen tankies on Bluesky trying to convince themselves that the US would have attacked Iran under Harris, too. Anybody saying that that's just a hypothetical gets told to "prove it".

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, I wouldn't say we'd be guaranteed to be in this war anyway, but I wouldn't say she'd have definitely kept us out.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

Very few things are ever guaranteed, which is why it's extremely silly for people to think that Harris would definitely have dragged the US into a war with Iran

This exchange was hilarious:

Tankies truly are the dumbest motherfuckers alive

Oh no, no, nobody ever believed he was anti-war. If they claim they did, they're lying.

You could believe he was gonna clean the swamp, if you were extremely foolish. You could believe he was gonna release the Epstein Files, if you were drunk enough and melted your brain doing whippets.

But you don't get to pretend, ever, that the man who thinks foreigners are garbage would ever, for a second, think twice about shooting them.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

I think you're underestimating the potential for stupidity of the American people. When I went to vote for Harris in '24, there were people with signs calling him the president of peace. There were also people with signs showing the price of gas during the COVID shutdowns, which is at a similar level.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 4 points 14 hours ago

But but but he got the fifa peace prize!!!!!

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 64 points 23 hours ago (24 children)

Don’t forget the idiots that didn’t vote because Gaza and now it’s 10x worse

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 30 points 21 hours ago

At least the Palestinians are now all saved. They have been saved, right? No? Well at least some people could feel morally superior by not voting for Kamala.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago

Tacobuttplug can suck a fat one for continuing to support their decision.
