He starts a war, tanks the global economy, and it’s willing to leave the global economy in taters like a little bitch.

MAGA in a nutshell.

    I’ve been reading the WSJ for many a long year (know thine enemy) the comments section has seen some shift from proud support for Trump into somewhat despairing but there’s still a vast holdout of it’s worth it if Iran is destroyed and Trump is the bravest President because of it.

      Comment sections like on news sites are unbelievably unreliable. Bots and motivated actors (dudes sitting around making 300 accounts to say the same thing and agree with themselves) flood them.

      What you’re seeing isn’t an indicator of anything.

        They do have influence tho, and the average Boomer Betty Jane doesn’t take time to wonder if they’re legit comments, her brain’s mirror neurons automatically integrate this and compare her beliefs to it, invoking a deep and lengthy reconciliation process, all of which she’s unaware of. This is how community norms are changed, alternate realities exist. Which is all to say, the internet was a bad idea, we know that now.

          Youre right

          I’m saying those are there to manipulate you, and you’re saying they work in manipulating people.

          It’s part of a psyop
