Republican - “We want to hunt Democrats!”

Democrat - “WTF?!”

Republican - “Why are Democrats so violent in their rhetoric? This is why bad things happen.”

    MTG quit congress so that she has zero ability to do anything about it.

    Republicans 100% understand what they’re doing. They lie. That’s their job. The second their job doesn’t depend on keeping an obese pedophile happy they can start expressing themselves more honestly.

    At least with the Dems we had a president who was openly stating his disapproval and trying to help broker a peace deal, a subset of the Democrat party that was very vocally against what was happening, and a shit ton of very angry liberal voters.

    Now we have a president sucking Netanyahu's cock while cracking jokes about opening resorts on stolen land while every single congressional Republican and conservative voter claps while on their knees.

    Oops.

    Yeah it does. Biden was not openly trying to broker a peace deal, and I don't remember any disapproval, that was lip service to get you morons to settle down. He willfully and actively increased weapons shipments to Israel, even going behind congresses back to send more.

    Points still stand, completely untouched!

    • Vast majority of calling it genocide come from Democrats.

    There you go, moving the goalpost yet again lol. First it was that MTG said something about genocide and then after I prove more Democrats said something and also sooner and also while in office, you try to say that it just "happened" simultaneously -- this despite Netanyahu and Pro-Israeli lobbyists supporting Trump's reelection? Not making sense buddy lol.

    Democrats are still better. Even Palestinians prefer Democrats over Republicans, clearly!

    You are playing word games, quite obviously actually lol. They are evaluating charges of genocide for Russia, just as they are evaluating charges for Israel, too.

    Russia wants to erase Ukraine and its culture off the map, just as Israel does with Gaza -- Acknowledge this obvious fact and direct parallel.

    It's not that we don't agree, you're just completely wrong. Do you need to see images of the dead civilians from Russia's strikes on Kyiv just last night?

    I genuinely don't believe their goal is to exterminate every last Ukrainian, which is a major part of what a genocide entails. That's really the major difference in my mind, and international law, for that matter. Israel has repeatedly had major government figures routinely say they want to eliminate every single Palestinian.

    Nah, I've seen enough death. Did you see all of those dead Russian kids Ukraine made the other day?

    Show me some examples, sounds compelling!

    Besides, every single independent organization has declared that Ukraine is far more cautious with respect to civilian collateral damage.

    I absolutely haven't seen any of this. Would love to see non western biased sources.

    Actually Ukraine had a classic American coup, was genociding ethnic speaking Russians in its borders, contemplating joining NATO, breaking multiple international agreements, and then Russia invaded. Which would arguably be anti imperialist, as America was doing America stuff in the region.

    Also you know about all the Nazis in Ukraine or nah?

    Do you actually believe supporting China over the USA is evil? You really been deep diving on that western propaganda lol. For having wrong think I'm a mentally ill psychopath, lmao?

    Everybody should read One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. We are almost at that point. Back in 2023-2024, multiple millions of liberals and democrats were willing to genocide Gaza. After all, "If Kamala won, we'd all be at brunch, right?"

    Everbody now is pretending to be against Israel and the genocide. The Dem platform in 2023-2024 was specifically/explicitly to continue the genocide.

    Thanks to modern surveillance that they built they were easier to identify. That is the whole point behind all that surveillance.

    This is why people like Matt Walsh's videos defending lynching are not free speech. They are calls to action to murder absolutely anyone they do not like to terrorize the rest. If someone like Matt took a bullet to the head like Charlie Kirk, whoever did it should be able to plead self-defense. Even if they broke into his house and shot him while he was sleeping.

    Basically he is calling for people to do far worse than that and prison is a mercy for him.
