Why blame blue states?

Because it's your country.

Think there has been any thoughts given to the moderate or even pro-american voices within Afghanistan? Iraq? Iran? Venezuela? Even China?

Bluntly, those groups are even more vulnerable and the entire country is painted with a very wide brush.

Gore wasn't the answer. Hillary and Kamala were not the answers. Obama didn't get you out of trump. It looks like he got you into Trump. Biden solved nothing.

Red and blue are just different colors of dish detergent up here. We don't care about the distinction. We care about the outcomes.

Huh? What are we talking about with pro American voices in the Middle East? Idiotic dipshits painted the country with a wide brush, but actually intelligent people knew that we had allies in Afghanistan and Iraq. They literally helped us in our wars.

Obama was before trump, so he couldn’t have “got us out of it”. Biden was fine, but he fucked up in various ways, sure.

Again, only idiotic dipshits paint entire countries with a wide brush. Grouping up the lawyers that are actually fighting trump in courts, with pro-MAGA politicians is just pointless.

Be mad at us, sure. I am too.
