War on drugs - drugs won
War on terror - terror won
War on woke - 🤞
- It's never been about defeating those things, it's about expanding power using them as an excuse.
  
  Exactly.
  War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
  War on Terror - PATRIOT Act, or whatever its current incarnation is
  War on Woke - probably government access to medical records and/or privacy generally, but I guess we'll see
- War on Woke - war on privacy and access to undesirable (to the state) information
  As RATM says:
  Who controls the past now, controls the future.
  Who controls the present now, controls the past.
  It's just Big Brother.
- Considering how tired and sleepy I feel, they may be winning this one.
- interesting
His one job was to create profit for weapons manufacturers and he did that job very very well
- His job was to do Israel’s bidding and remove Saddam.
  
  That's a nice side effect.
Just like the "war on drugs" was never about stopping drugs, this was never about stopping terrorism.
When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there's no final end point.
No, man! He said war OF Terror...
- Borat fan?
Explain this then
- New skill unlocked: "Lie with energy and in a few years fact checking becomes diabolical."
First they funded, supported, and grew the terrorism, and THEN, they fought the terrorism. Then they funded other terrorists. But it's always in countries with natural resources they want.
Are we really going back this far, right at this moment?
- Mate, I was traumatised when Dragonball z and Pokémon were interrupted before school and this dude was on all the TV stations.
  Nothing has been any good sense.
Gonna be honest, the idiom/meme "had one job" is almost never correct or appropriate and the role of president is certainly a situation where it does not apply. I find it irksome, most of the time, when people say/type it, without actually thinking things through and applying it appropriately. Don't care if it is an unpopular opinion because it is a fact that it is used incorrectly the vast majority of the time and haters gonna hate, only true appreciators gonna appreciate.
