Anybody see a pattern?

One party has lied us into wars, lied to keep us there since Vietnam. One party loves to lie us into battles that OTHERS go fight in so THEY keep power and money. Use to be in other countries. Now they lie us into a government takedown for power and money while others do the fighting, die and ruin their lives. One party. Not both sides. Patriot, prolife party of God.

In fact, I hope he does. A war on ignorance.

Holy shit! I'm not going into that forum to check. I'm pretty sure I'd get kicked out.

From time to time, I post some of the things that are hot topics, over there, to illustrate where their minds are.

The post yesterday was telling people to be prepared to sacrifice their children in Biden's new war. Where the war would be, or when was unspecified. I suppose if research was done, we would find that the original source was some right-wing "news." outlet.

It doesn't have to be from a news source. They sit back and speculate on what 'might' happen, or say 'wouldn't it be interesting if ____ happened.' Their ideas often don't have any relation to reality and they're usually fashioned so that they create the most outrage. So RWers are in a perpetual state of outrage over events that never happened and likely won't ever happen.

They claim Trump is the first president to not get us into any new wars in a generation. This is a flat-out lie but people believe it. Obama didn't start any new wars. Clinton didn't, either and neither did Carter. Sure, they all took military actions but so did Trump! In fact, Trump killed more people using drones than Obama did. The difference is that Obama was transparent about it and Trump hid his drone program.

Also, Trump INCREASED troops in Afghanistan when he became president!

It's insane.
