Every Republican presidential since Reagan has dragged us into a war of some sort.

What does this even mean? The proportion of gen z trump voters was way lower than millennial trump voters in 2024

Regardless these arbitrary generational divisions are worse than meaningless

Instead of Gen Z, let's just say every republican this term. He cheated, but a whole shit ton of people still voted for him. I don't think he needed to cheat.

As someone who served in both… yea. We all saw this coming for Iran. Gen Z buying into Trump and maga hurt a lot to watch.

GenX, who lived through the last war with Iran:

This reminds me of a post I made before the election:

Trump's foreign policy equivocation, and his "America First" slogan allows him to appeal to both the Idealist Doves (libertarians) and the Realist Hawks (nationalists). He can't consistently take any line on any specific thing. If by Afghanistan, you mean a disastrous nation-building exercise, wasteful government spending, and endangering our troops for the sake of helping foreigners, then of course Trump opposes it. But if by Afghanistan, you mean exerting American strength, intimidating Russia and China, and weakening terrorists to keep America safe, then of course Trump supports it.

In reality, to the extent that Trump has coherent beliefs at all, he is a Realist Hawk, a nationalist, and his record reflects that. But part of the reason he was able to get anywhere was because he was able to triangulate and equivocate well enough to dupe anti-war libertarians.

Unfortunately, in American politics, the conflict is generally between Idealist Hawks and everyone else. This is part of what allows the nationalists and libertarians to put aside their differences (the other part being that libertarians are easily duped). Realist Doves are not represented anywhere, the Idealist Interventionists consider us Russian bots along with everyone else who disagrees with them on foreign policy (regardless of how or why), the Idealist Doves are extremely unreliable, and the Realist Hawks may see the world in a similar way but have diametrically opposed priorities.

tl;dr: Trump's halfhearted antiwar posturing is an obvious ruse that only an idiot would fall for, but painting everyone skeptical of US foreign policy with the same brush helps him to sell it and to paint over ideological rifts that could otherwise be potentially exploited.

Just to remind us of the PNAC plan, that we're still in, despite that thinktank officially ending 20 years ago.

Exactly, one too many idiots who believed in MAGA. The shitheads should be lining up at the US Army recruiting offices signing up for 11 Bravo, Infantry.

I have yet to see someone use this meme properly once. This tells me not enough people watched the show and understand the context of their own fucking meme.

Gen-X and Boomers

Low effort generationalism again.

This is a really bad meme unless your goal is to support the zoomer position.

🤣 They are literally downvoting me, for pointing this out.
