    I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy’s probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won’t, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.

      The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it’s all lies to denigrate Trump. It’s a sick joke that I have family members who, “respect the military and those who serve”, but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.

      I mean, its definitely delusional, but its also not out of line with the kind of delusional asshats this country has scattered throughout our body politic. The whole reason we invaded Iraq in '03 was because we had these kinds of Generals. And back then, even Trump was saying how this shit was dumb and would end badly. Now we’ve got half a dozen proxy wars stretching from Ukraine to Yemen to the Philippines - spanning two different presidencies no less - and it seems as though Trump is campaigning on a few more. But then Harris is out campaigning with Liz Cheney who also wants a few more wars.

      This, while living in a country that can’t go four years without diving into another international conflict.
