Here's my take as a military person.
Okay, fine, it's Biden's fault you have screw worm in the States.
He's not in power anymore. How will YOU solve it?
AI will fix plz invest all ur moneys in AI. Its not a scam.
The administration is just repeating the party line: "The buck stops somewhere else"
Gotta vote Republican harder this time. There's still too many Democrats in government. Once we've gotten rid of all the Democrats, then we can implement the magical policies that will solve all our problems.
That is, of course, assuming there aren't any fifth columnist liberal voters who try to obstruct us. We might need to get rid of them, too.
thats the problem. they dont know how to fix it so they blame others who are powerless to fix it and that gets them off the hook in their view
That's the thing, they won't solve it. All they know how to do is blame blame blame blame blame
This has been the republican strategy my whole life. Its wild to think this is as consistent as the rise and fall of the tides, the sunrise and sunset, etc. And it still works on people.
Lol reminded me of
"All I hear is criticize criticize criticize"
I can't see, you can't see, all that matter is, can the fuckin horse see!
Hungarian here, Fidesz blamed previous prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány for all of its incompetence, up until the Russo-Ukrainian war started.
Simple. He’ll wish it away the same way he did Covid. When that fails he’ll have RFK start telling the world that Ivermectin kills them.
I mean, as a military person, aren’t you currently involved in a war with Iran that’s Obama’s fault? Conservatism is fueled by personal greed at every level, from the most powerful to the poorest voter empowering the people they think they share a tribe with in the expectation prosperity will trickle down. They all lack personal accountability and share a consensus that any negative outcome from an action that was clearly their’s, it will be blamed on whoever is currently a convenient target for their disappointment. Run out of real people to blame? Oh, it was the devil.
You’ll get no solutions because they don’t care about the hubris as long as it’s not directly affecting them. Flesh eating maggots have no impact on Trump’s day to day life, he doesn’t give a fuck if they infect his constituents or destroy their herd, he knows they’ll still vote for him next time he runs.
I'm not in the American military. They don't want my kind there.
Well when the US attacks whichever nation you’re serving, remember, it was Biden, or Obama, or maybe your leader’s fault for forcing Trump to have to do that. /s
Are you saying, are you implying Stalin's glorious and perfect leadership caused this, failed to forsee this?
I'll be reporting you to the company political officer.
... uh that'd be approximately the MAGA 'military' response.
Fortunately I am not in a MAGA military.
Fortunately indeed... I keep trying to tell people that you really do not want to fuck with the Canadian military, they consistently punch above their weight, and have a bit of a historical track record of that to boot.
