    Why are you, so successful at installing despots around the world, that when a coup starts at home, you fail so damn hard at keeping the wigs off?

    That is exactly the fucking answer. Who is doing this? Our military. Because they’re that god damned strong. You just listed a bunch of countries that while things may have been difficult, they do not at all compare to a super power’s military strength. They just don’t. That’s not something I’m happy about, and that’s not even American exceptionalism talking, that’s just the reality and the disparity of the different miliary strengths.

    If you have already accepted your deaths, then why even bother replying to me on lemmy?

    I’m not accepting it and you don’t get to say when I can and cannot speak out just because we disagree.

      Good. Then I’ll continue saying “beat your ‘god damned strong’ military at urban guerrilla Vietnam proved still works on their asses.” Your Maoists failed twice to make scrambled eggs, now show me what “Democrats” can do, other than comply. You have the perfect distraction now, that the chariman is at war with Venezuela. 🫡

        Yep I completely agree that our Democratic party does incredibly little. They got all upset at Trump calling them Do Nothing Democrats during his first term, but it’s the fucking truth. Voting Democrat is only the “lesser evil” because the alternatives are either fascists or independents who have no power hold whatsoever at ANY level of government in the entire nation.

        The part that is infuriating for me is that I’d rather at least have a more centrist party if not outright liberal party, because Democrats are still conservative; they’re just further left of Republicans. The only liberal parties are independents and you cannot get federal power without first having local/city power, and then state power, and finally federal. It’ll never work on any other way in the US and that’s been proven for over 200 years.
