    I do find it kind of funny that even liberals are against it, because they have famously short memories. I know it’s partly because he’s being so brazen about it, but with this meme, it also strikes me as when you reboot a franchise too soon lol.

        Superficial or not, the anti-war sentiments were overwhelmingly popular among libs from 2002-2008. I watched those democratic primary debates and even Joe Biden would lie to present himself as a dove. And all the previous officially titled wars in the past 35 years have been chud led.

          Ehhh I knew plenty of liberals who would say shit like “yeah we shouldn’t be drone striking children hospitals BUT they did crash two airplanes into my favorite buildings so we must be doing something right. Support our troops!”

          Etc

          They also all had those yellow ribbon magnets on their cars

          Ya, a lot of liberals don’t actually like war, so usually you got it to do it in the background and disguise it as something else if you’re a Democrat or just continue one started by a Republican (like with Yugoslavia, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, Israel, etc).
