US Authoritarianism

he would at least ATTEMPT to pretend to care about working class people

No need to speculate. The man was president for 8 years, he had plenty of opportunities to do that. He didn't.

Typical out-to-brunch lemmy.world user. Can’t resist making fucking reprehensible statements without even an inkling of a conscience about the privileged lifestyle that allows them to gloss over the brutal murders of MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS. Can’t just admit that ALL of them were not working for anyone but the Military Industrial Complex. Can’t resist the urge to rehabilitate the public perception of actual murderers.

He would be so nice as he endorsed a constitutional amendment to permanently remove gay marriage, start a 20 year war under false pretenses for defense contractors that results in a million people in the Middle East getting murdered (the overwhelming majority of which are civilians) and countless more having ghastly war crimes occur similar to what’s occurring in Gaza (being picked off like dogs by snipers, children shot in front of families, bombing weddings, cia posing as the Red Cross, raping people including children, bombing relentlessly) with no accountability aside from a small handful of soldiers getting court martialed (only to eventually be pardoned by trump anyway).

He also greatly eroded privacy protections through things like the patriot act and the grossly illegal PRISM program that was eventually leaked by Snowden. And don’t forget while Clinton was the president who set the stage for the 2008 recession by allowing bullshit regulatory relaxation with repeal of glass-stegall, bush was the president whose administration sat there for almost a decade watching wall street take increasingly large risks, ignoring massive alarms, and was at the helm when it predictably blew the fuck up ruining millions of lives. The after effects of that are still felt today for many families, 17 years later.

But yeah he wasn’t mean on twitter and now he paints pictures and goes out to lunch with Ellen, who is a class traitor and proof that lgbt status means little in the scope of class divide. Fuck that, fuck her for signing on to his pr image rehab campaign bullshit, and fuck bush apologists. He is a monster and a war criminal. If there were justice in the world and america didn’t push its military onto 60% of the globe he would be hung like saddam, and he would deserve it. But the international courts are weak cowards that cannot and will not ever hold america accountable

correct response
