    had a look on reddit-logo because i’m special like that:

    We literally have communists in Congress representing Russia and Putin. And guess what ? They are 💯 % Republicans.

    The US should support Ukraine. The Russians are using their bought puppets to try and subvert the election this year as well as trying to start a civil war in the US (again). For that reason alone we should be opposing ANYTHING that Russia wants and that includes supporting Ukraine.

    :D

      Mainstream liberals will laugh about how anyone could be stupid enough to believe that the 2020 election was stolen by a secret pedophile cabal as though it’s not still totally hegemonic in 2024 to believe that the 2016 election was stolen by a secret cabal of KGB Manchurian candidates. Both of these ideas are evidence-free nonsense, but it’s the one debunked by years of comprehensive bipartisan congressional investigations that it’s normal to still believe. Hell, at least they’ve actually found pedophiles in congress, which is more than I can say for secret Russian Skrulls or whatever the these lunatics believe.

        The 2020 election wasn’t stolen by a secret pedophile cabal ofc, it was won fair and square by proud and unabashed pedophiles.

        Of course, the opposition was also comprised of proud and unabashed pedophiles. So they would have won out either way.

      My favourite is this one:

      CW: redditism

      Never thought I’d see the day the Americans were too cowardly to stand up to Russia. Gonna suck when it’s eventually US bodies in the trenches of Europe instead of Ukrainians.

      There are so many quiet parts said out loud there I don’t even know where to begin listing them.

      I also like this one, for implying that Russia winning will mean control over the fucking Atlantic Ocean!

      CW: redditism

      It’s not just that… China never runs Taiwan and suddenly you have China facing off the pacific and Russia overlooking the Atlantic and USA is in the middle

      redditors make me feel things.

        being even the slightest bit pressed back from your 1000 military bases around the world, many of the in the literal faces of your declared enemies (but also trading partners, wtf) is like minas tirith under siege, the end of everything.

        just like the line has to go up constantly, so does the empire, or it’s immediately under dire existential threat.

        psychotic.

        Those are a lot. Damn. I usually make fun of libs for being overly verbose, but those two sentences contain a neutron star’s worth of condensed bullshit.

        When they say the Atlantic do they actually mean the Pacific? I don’t understand why Russia would overlook the Atlantic geographically…

          They think that, if Russia wins in Ukraine they’ll keep marching on through the entirety of Europe due to some video game “war fever” logic. Redditors live in a very interesting alternate reality.

      I really hope this election leads to a major civil dispute where both parties accuse the other of election fraud so heavily they refuse to accept the results of the election.

      Who am I kidding though? The libs will just fall in lockstep and follow whomever is in charge, even if they think the election is 100% stolen.
