But aren't they the devil in this analogy?

Yeah, I bet they'll end up using them on a hospital in Gaza instead.

You would think they would've have let him come into the country knowing all that? It's not like he crossed the Rio Grande to fight Jake Paul.

Even if everyone left, he's still got a bunch of nukes and other powers that could affect the rest of us.

I mean, their stated goal is actually to devalue the dollar so exports are more attractive. Of course, that also means importing becomes more expensive, and China makes everything, so there's no way people are going to be happy about that.

The government can just print money, they don't actually strictly need your taxes (see MMT). The only actual path is withholding labour and mass protests (with at least a credible threat of violent escalations).

I'm convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There's the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival. There's a reason the Israeli's never published a breakdown of who got killed and how.
