History just doesn't matter lol, people believe what they want. I still see people spouting lines about how many people Obama killed with drone strikes (which, let me be clear, he did get a lot of innocent people killed), but halfway through Trump's first term the number of strikes had already surpassed Obama's full tenure. Then Trump's administration stopped keeping the tally at all, aka "removing all pretense of public accountability."

Yet somehow I never see people shitting on Trump for that, only Obama.

And the tree in the top right is the exact same color as the clouds, and she only has 4 fingers on her left hand, and the reflection patterns in her eyes are suspiciously distinct from each other. I'm definitely leaning towards this being generated

Maybe it has something to do with also needing international support in order to defend itself from its neighbor... talk all the shit you want about the US's stance on Israel, but shifting that to Taiwan is on par with claiming Ukraine deserved to get invaded.

Which I now realize is probably your next line. Anyway, oh well

This is kinda where I'm at. So far it's been a lot of hot air, like always, but no one's been arrested or had their subsidies cut yet.

Tap for spoilerI made a comment less than a day before the current drama saying all they ever do is talk shit, so hopefully now that I'm posting this they'll have a real falling out

Well, of course the real answer is that calling it fraud is simply how they justify the transfer of wealth to already obscenely rich people. But as for how the propaganda works, it ties into how they don't believe in due process. Right now it's most visible in how they're kidnapping people, but it also extends to fraud. They claim fraud, no prosecution happens because ThE CouRtS ArE cORrUPt, and so they get to go outside the law and do things like cut already allocated Medicaid funds without losing support.

this isn't a falling out. i swear there's been an article once a week since january pretending This Is IT between the richest man in the world and one of the most corrupt, but turns out, they have a lot to offer each other. they're talking a bunch of bullshit like they always do and news outlets are reporting their meaningless words uncritically like they always do.

wake me up when spacex loses funding.
