“And so while I may not agree with the likes of Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro or Mike Huckabee that we have some sort of near slavish loyalty to a country in a far away land, I would walk across hot coals arm in arm with those individuals to stop the Democrats turning America into a more transsexual version of Venezuela.”

“In the end, it was President Trump’s vision that kept us out of a war then and I certainly hope that the Polymarket prediction that says there’s a 71 percent chance that ground troops go into Iran is false,” he continued.

1000% Absolutely batshit insane.

I wonder if it's all on purpose.

What is the benefit? I don't mean America is going to benefit, but the people that manipulate our country and politicians... How do they benefit from this? America is a tool to other to use for their own greed, regardless of nationality.

I remember seeing america as something strong, intelligent, and powerful. And now I see america as a joke, arrogant, and not worth respect. And this view has been growing since 2001, not simply because trump and the right.

Some word that could desxribe America; arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, privileged to the point of losing their humanity, naive to reality, and inauthentic.

A fraud. A gimmick. A monster. A cancer to the human race.
