Trump’s base was vocally divided over the prospects of direct U.S. attacks up until the moment they happened.

The MAGA movement’s top influencers were divided over bombing Iran until Donald Trump did just that Saturday night.

Now, at least for the time being, the lay leaders in Trump’s base appear to be rallying around a position that spares Trump criticism: Direct attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities are justified, as long as American troops aren’t sent into a third full war halfway around the world in the last quarter of a century.

    I feel it might be precisely the opposite of that. The left constantly capitulates and tries to play nice. Always forgiving and taking the high road. Fuck that. Sometimes people are dumb, dangerous, wrong, and evil, and nobody should have a problem saying “You fucked up”. It’s on you to earn respect back, not me to give it to you and a shoulder to cry on.

      Yeah, fuck them. They have access to almost all of human knowledge at their fingertips. They have access to the exact same information we do. And yet they still choose to be shitheads. Fuck them, they should be buried too.
