I get this is the silliest thing to be concerned about right now with everything going on, but it does feel like the hawks scored a point here in the market place of ideas. Trying to add any context to the shitty situation in Eastern Europe is gonna come off as Putin apologia. I feel like it used to be a bit easier to pill Libs on being anti-war by putting to the USs fuck. But now that a country the hawks hated did a thing they predicted he’d do, well…
The Trump thing has gotten me into multiple arguments with my dad. I’ll say Trump was way less evil than George W, and it’s a tossup with Obama, because “At least Trump didn’t start any wars” and it’ll send him into a confused rage. And I remember him hating GWB at the time too, I think he genuinely just forgot how bad he was.
