    bullshit leftist feelgood article

    Are you saying they are lying and that the USA aren’t effectively losing the war in Iran? I think you’re wrong.

    people share these articles to make themselves feel like something is being done

    You can’t know why OP shared that article.

    And I think you over- or underestimate people’s happy comments here. Being happy that Trump fucked up and won’t be glassing a Middle Eastern country is one thing - “Copium” is another. I honestly don’t think any of the roughly 30 comments here are unaware that things are still very much fucked up in the USA.

    I’ll concede one point to you though: many concentrate too much on hating Trump the person, not the whole admin.

    Assuming you live in the USA you still have my deepfelt empathy though. Can’t be easy.

      Are you saying they are lying and that the USA aren’t effectively losing the war in Iran? I think you’re wrong.

      Are you saying that the American public will give one single fuck about this? I think you’re wrong.

      Im not happy when he suffers setbacks. Because he lashes out and does crazy shit to bury it in the news cycle. I dont even think I’ll be happy when hes gone because they’ve set up the foundations to never lose power again. The Maga cult may die with him, but the republicans will still be going. This is not going to end. We’re still dealing with the effects of presidents from 50 years ago.

      You must understand that my bitterness comes from being a trucker in rural areas and living in the south US. I have met the dumbest people alive. I’ve had conversations with several people all over the country who openly admit that Trump is damaging America, but “If we elect a democrat, there wont be an America!” These people openly support him, despite their lives being significantly worse, admittedly because of Trump. They’ve been radicalized to think Leftists are baby-eaters or whatever particular flavor of conspiracy thats rattling around in their head. I have met and interacted with countless people who truly believe these things. Thats not even mentioning the news cycle and algorithms pushing this radical stuff onto people. We are fucked.

        I feel you, I really do.

        Maybe I see it differently not only because I don’t live there and don’t suffer directly, but also because I see how other countries - both their leaders and their people - react.

        And I maintain: being gleeful about this one thing doesn’t mean all the other things you’re saying. Maybe you should try it too.
