Multiple administrations didn’t take Israel’s bait (the last attempt was during the Biden admin). The US intelligence agencies and the military have long advised against external actions towards Iran for this one single reason (the straight). Trump and his brain dead cronies are the first, thanks to ignorance, incompetence, hubris, and unadulterated stupidity.

Forty years of fascist white Christian nationalist rhetoric from the Republican party?

The genocide thing is a wash because both Democrats and Republicans have a hard on for Israel. That said, Democrats were willing to fund Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself while Republicans are full on in Putin’s pocket. There is just no way to argue any thing close to an equilibrium between the two.
I don’t know if I can get behind the Fortnite style models.
They pretty much made this a skin in Marathon (2026).

A: The EU should definitely have its own military, capable of defending its own borders without the need of external help.
B: Fuck the orange buffoon who has single handedly damaged the US beyond repair. Even if the US ejects the fascists and prosecutes all corrupt politicians and billionaires who partook in pilfering the country, it will never reach the heights it enjoyed before.

Establishment Democrats suck ass, but you cannot compare them to the unadulterated flood of fascism and corruption flowing from the Republican side. It’s like comparing the diarrhea after participating in a ghost pepper eating challenge to literally falling into the lava of an active volcano.
The effects of one you can fix. Not the other.

Remember when Ba’al kept killing and torturing O’Neal to death, then resurrecting him only to do it all over and over and over again? Where can we get one of those sarcophagi?
Gen-X here. I and many of my contemporaries learned that lesson by watching our parents. Hence the nonconformist “slacker” start and the high rate of job hopping in the 90’s and 2Ks. Somewhere along the way (looking at you 2008), that changed.

We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today, we celebrate our independence day.

“I’m not partaking in any celebration of this ¢untry. Not a misspelling”
That’s a direct quote from a Signal exchange with family member that has worked for the DoD most of their life. That’s where most Americans are now, in my opinion.

No.
2016 = MAGA/Trump does incompetence and stupidity
2026 = MAGA/Trump does unprecedented corruption, calculated evil, and inescapable damage.
I was very much so an adult in 2016.
