- The only consistant thing about conservatives over history is that they are almost always against good social progress, the ones of the past just had more sturdy spines
  
  Being against progress is kinda in the name tho.. but i guess they can also be considered progressive, except progressing in an exceptionally shitty way
- Then to compare them to Mccarthy era these maghats would have been disappeared
- Yeah, Reagan would probably be selling missiles to Russia to fund drug-smuggling death squads in Nicaragua.
What, just because he's betraying an ally for a hostile country actively trying to harm us?
MAGA tried to overthrow our government once now government is in their hands. America is doomed.
- And the working class is not going to rise up. It's going to eat itself.
We've always been at war with Eurasia
Well, more to the point: it’s like the US canceling Lend-Lease for the USSR right before the battle of Stalingrad.
- The US did halt lend lease shipments to the USSR in the middle of Stalingrad in order to support actions in Tunisia.
  
  That’s a very different context and you know it. That’s resource scarcity and triage. What’s happening now is we’re switching teams to the bad guys.
fuck this fucking corpo nazi timeline
When you stop holding international laws when it doesnt work for you “see the zionist project” and then try to force it when it work for you, “see iran sanction and russia sanction” then now you get into a situation where a powerful government stop to pretend and ask “why i am doing this for other countries when i can take the money for myself”
European has supported the united state atrocity fully knowing they are committing illegal and war crimes, “see Iraq war” it is surprising to see these leader being shocked because any one with brain cell can tell you not to trust the US or any other country for that matter and always have plan b, c, to z.
It would only be like switching sides if they were supplying things to Russia
Not taking Sides is not the same as switching sides
- They are taking sides by stoping aid to Ukraine and lifting the embargo against Russia Keep up.
- How about if they lift sanctions and so fund the russian war effort?
The US has been ditching its allies a thousand times over. Using this comparison for Ukraine is a stretch
- It isnt if you actually look at the context instead of just slinging about fallacious platitudes
  
  The apt comparison would be the full on Holocaust America is bankrolling in Palestine.
