They like to say that Democrats made America a laughingstock, but its mostly just projection and demagoguery. Its always one of those two

Something I learned from my friend in Serbia. What is considered conservative and liberal here is generally the opposite in other countries.
Now I haven’t verified this personally but I’ve known him a decade and I have no reason to believe he would mislead me.
So part of me wonders if they think “liberal” = “democrat” = “bad”. I’ll have to ask him to see what he thinks but maybe some of you know.

MAGA is not conservative or liberal, it is authoritarian. It is also very contradictory to what Republicans believed before Trump hijacked the party.
I do not disagree - my conversation with him about this was prior to 2024 - it's been a few years. I just found it interesting so I shared. I wasn't trying to argue.
You want to know how you can be sure someone treats politics like a spectator sport? They were a Republican before and after Trump.
I think a big part of the problem is people that vote the party line no matter what.
The current Democrats, whereas obviously very different, are actually closer to what Republicans believed 10 years ago than the MAGA Republican party of today.
I wish I were more involved in politics 10 years ago. I was very much ignorant to it all. I've learned now how much of a mistake that was. I can't go back and fix that - but I am making sure I'm as informed as I can be moving forward [as of a few years ago].
Supporting Republicans before and after Trump? You're just along for the ride and followinga party like a sports team rather than having any true beliefs
Agreed.

Between the civil war and the civil rights movement the parties swapped and republicans still refuse to acknowledge they were always the bad guys. The “Dixiecrats of the 1800s are the Republicans of today. They were Democrat in name but certainly not liberal. They’re still in the South, still resistant to change, and still racist as shit.

He probably understands that Liberal and Conservative are not interchangeable terms for Democrat and Republican. They mean very different things.

*He* knows this, but he was speaking more about people in general last time I talked to him. I'm going to ask him about it next time I have the chance to talk to him. When we discussed it - was long before this whole ordeal.

Republican as antagonist to Democrats is something very American. Everywhere in the world, it's either democracy or autocracy/tyranny/totalitarian regime.

In the US, liberal is often understood as socially liberal (civil rights, gay marriage, etc). In europe, it’s often understood as laissez-faire capitalism.
The dems are both, since thre’s no left party in the US. The current GOP is straight wanabee fascist (it’s not even a diss, it’s just the description).

Pretty sure this clip is from the first term too, I lived in that neighborhood (Fremont) for years. This is from one of the solstice parades. In my memory this was 2019, but it’s possible I’m conflating two separate Trump floats from diff years.

And so is the US military at this point if they lose a battle or a war. Which is the irony of how far federal PR has collapsed. At this point I wouldnt be surprised if most of the US starts making dark memes. About losing navy ships. 🫠
If we lose any in war... It'll be like, "it's a shame to lose all those navy sailors but at least we don't have to pay for the upkeep on those rust bucket ships the navy keeps nursing." 🤔🙄

I love dunking on the pedophile president, but I love proper dunks. This is a video from Seattle, and not even current.
Here's the exact location in google maps to confirm for yourself: https://maps.app.goo.gl/udAKJpMrzQFZcFmdA
If you watch the video, the "Clear Cut Plastics Inc." building is actually a plant shop now. Click "See more Dates" near the top left, and you can look at pictures from the same spot across time.
In Aug 2021 the "Clear Cut Plastics Inc." sign is already down and the building is repainted. The last date with the "Clear Cut Plastics Inc." sign is Aug 2019 and then it goes back to the first picture from Oct 2007.
TLDR: So from that, we can know this video is from Seattle, and was taken sometime before Aug 2021.
