"It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!

    Seriously though, has anyone had such an absolute grip on a US political party? Ever? George Washington had plenty of squabbling under him. Most dictators had more dissent.

    Non-interventionism was an absolute core of MAGA; this would be like Hitler pronouncing “we love Jews!” and everyone lining up like ducks. And they are! /r/conservative is ecstatic…

      Something more is going on. This seems more like psychological social manipulation. Shitty ads and political debate are one thing but I wouldn’t doubt real manipulation at criminal level digitally happening along with organized crime style strong arming and extortion. I mean the could digitally instigate an unaware person to murder two lawmakers… Without it ever coming back to them.

      I don’t think people have the freewill they think they have here.

        I dunno about extortion, but I’d buy bot/algo manipulation, yeah. That’s already what’s going on, in the open, and how Trump got elected.
