If you want droll then try re-reading this thread but pretending you've never been to this forum. I think I made it to page 23. There was a post on page 14 IIRC from @Al-O-Meter worth reading and maybe a couple others.
Imagine typing, "Russia behaved under Trump" with a straight face.
But Globalism and some tyrant from some far off place or something something...It's weird how those who want responsibility and (whatever the opposite of globalism is) refuse to be responsible. Take for example the Trump presidency.
- Trump touted America First, when all it meant was America Last and his family corrupt business dealings first. Even if it meant blackmailing Ukraine's president to promote his personal agenda.
- Trump and his party refuse to be held accountable for anything. Whether it's working with Russia to interfere in 2016's election, lying about paying off adult actresses, selling access to the president, exploiting one's elected position to sell hotel sales, or lying about an attempted insurrection. In my experience, those who whine about "Personal responsibility" only really mean, "Personal responsibility for everyone else, complete immunity for me and my tribe."
- Those who demonize immigration and fantasize about domestic factory jobs would never be caught dead working the types of jobs immigrants work. If manufacturing came back, immigrants would have to work in the factories due to their poor salaries and working conditions. That's a big reason why factories left and children of factory workers went to college, factory work sucks. And those who complain about offshoring, are usually the first to run to Walmart to buy cheap ****. They'd never pay the high prices of domestically produced goods.
- Those who whine about the tyranny of globalism ALWAYS overlook the tyranny of local control. Here in America, state legislatures have caused much more suffering than any tyrannical distant globalist leader. Slavery (remember, it was a state's rights issue, right???
), Jim Crow, anti-miscegenation, anti LGBT, even anti-Mormon legislation was all passed by local and state leaders. Just look at what "local" leaders are doing across the country right now:

What?
Do you not speak TikTok?
Why did you quote me in that? The post you linked it to doesn’t say any of that.
