The difference in outrage between overthrowing foreign governments and jan6 is palpable. Most Democrats also keep voting for their imperialists (hello Genocide Joe) whereas jan6 is their red line.
Is it that clear? Attempts at overthrowing governments in Iran, Cuba, or Venezuela seem to be getting pretty bipartisan support.
Not among the voters. Remember. Donald was elected in part on promises to keep us out of foreign wars.
You don't speak for me. I wish we'd all just be able to leave everyone else alone and let them do their own thing.
While also stomping out fascism with a giant steel-toe boot.
