Should it be? No, of course not. But it definitely is. As you pointed out, it gets voted for.
Welcome to politics in 2021. Between the bucket of morons in the GOP (Boebert, MGT, etc) and the "squad" I don't which group of them is more stupid and divisive, but they're unquestionably cut from the same cloth.
It's a good thing you included "and divisive" because even though I disagree with most of what comes from "the squad" they are so much more intelligent than the GOP assholes that it's ridiculous.
They're just stupid about different things. The Squad's policy proposals are laughably stupid. The ones that seem reasonable (universal healthcare) they don't actually believe in.
Yep. She can call her an idiot and an Islamophobe, but afa the rest of it, to quote Chapelle, "Sounds like you need to shut the fuck up."
Shill, shill, shill.
I honestly tried to think of something outrageous coming from the left and all I could remember was Kathy Griffin and the Trump head photo. Her career since has been pretty low key.
AOC claimed the Green New Deal would cost $0 to Americans. It is incomprehensibly stupid to say that spending trillions of dollars will not have a price tag. Like MGT, she's an idiot.
there is a serious misunderstanding that conflating investment in green energy will create jobs to saying the Sandy hook massacre was a false flag.
I was referring to stupidity rather than just "outrageousness" (is that even a word?)
yeah.
AOC wasn't talking about creating jobs. I'm not referring to how many people's feelings were hurt. Both statements are completely baseless and only said out of ignorance.
I said they were both divisive idiots. I did not say they were the same.
He doesn't actually know much of anything. He's not that interested, he goes primarily by the memes.
The world would be a boring place if we all had the same opinions.
So, serious question.
Short answer, yes. Looking back through American history of the last 100 years the 80's-90's were a remarkably peaceful aberration. 20 years ago the entire society became so extreme that even questioning the government got you ostracized for hating freedom, even if you were right. The only difference now is that the extremists have fractured into different groups. Ironically, they both love the government, they just disagree on who should be micromanaging them.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
It's mostly just that you're not looking for it. I'm not trying to be flippant, but look at all the things you're tying into your opinion of Trump. You've basically have everything deemed by progressive society to not be tolerant together and look at it as a monolith of bad things. Last year, the left took over 6 blocks of a major American city. The progressive government in charge of that city just shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. The left lit a courthouse on fire last year. These were events that happened with left leaning media and government officials either tacitly or actively supporting the behavior.
After what the EU did to Canada this year during covid it's kind of hard for me to take this claim seriously. Canada procured EU produced vaccines. The EU stepped in, introduced legislation and took the vaccines for themselves because they bungled their own procurement. The EU's actions quite literally were illegal and lead to the deaths of Canadians. It was one of the most morally reprehensible things a government has done to another developed nation in my lifetime. Of course, just watching corporate media you'd be under the impression that this is much less serious than tweeting mean things.
The U.S. were the ones that gave us vaccines after the EU left us for dead, but I do understand that your environment is going to inform your opinion on international relations.
"Have to" is a long stretch. Choose to, would be much more accurate. They're less expensive to deal with for the most part.
Sure, why not.
