Nonsense. America has never lost a war. Any war America loses immediately becomes a "police action" and doesn't count.

Or if we do lose, it's only because liberals and/or commies stabbed us in the back and wouldn't let us win by:
- protesting
-not giving us <insert required number of years/decades/centuries required for a total victory if we'd stayed>
-not letting the military use nuclear weapons
-not letting the generals fight the war "correctly"(see the above bullet point)
-putting (insert group that's holding us back not limited to gays/trans/women/muslims/jews/irish/furringers) in the military
-CRT
-climate change
-<indescribable conservative screeching about wokeness>

Hell, I considered MYSELF a capitalist for the longest time, but no, the always right and always sane conservatives informed me I was a communist.
Do you believe public transport is a good thing? Must be a commie.
I wish I was being fully sarcastic but I've heard shit like that from some self proclaimed conservatives
Dude, I got my Communist scarlet letter by advocating for FLAT RATE CLINICS.
I literally don't believe in any of those things, and I am not a conservative.
This doesn't give numbers, but even the Russian court system is acknowledging the fact that Russian troops have invaded Ukraine already.
Emphasis mine. Quote is after google translate from the original Russian in link.
An autonomous republic mostly recognized as part of Georgia. I probably should have more specifically said "don't forget South Ossetia" which is another Georgian region Russian troops invaded and never left.
I'm done with the anti vax crowd. Fucking DONE.
Forget the mandate, let them fucking die if their body decides to shut down. They keep wanting to shit on me for getting the jab, they can all rot in hell.
The funny thing is Trump is more in line with what the younger generation see as how to get on.
Grift and grab where you can.
Like I've heard it said Trump Steaks aren't that good quality just sort of regular person high end but priced to be very high end outside of regular person normal dining prices but it's been sold as the premium thing to have.
Same with plenty of other stuff it's not premium stuff it's the Trump name slapped on slightly higher than normal quality stuff and charging and absolute premium price for it. It's the portrayal of premium without truly being it. Trump brand products are like The Solider Boy Game console of products really just actually better quality to start with. The difference is Trump sells his stuff just below the price of the premium stuff on the market mostly so his stuff is the low end of premium so people will pick it up because it's cheap.
Trump is just the US version of the UK's Alan Sugar whose company seriously sells some absolute rubbish, like 5-10 years ago as MP3 was taking off Amstrad were selling an £80 (About $110) automatic CD changer & CD player combo thing.
For the most part Trump isn't a "I'll just buy out the competition or undercut the little guy to force them to close down" kind of business operator.
Tell that to Vera Coking. He employed the government's help to try to shut her down.
This is an interesting point. One analysis I read suggested that Trump didn't really represent capitalists as often imagined: the "Elon Musk" idea of industrialists and creators, vibrant and innovative, who provide important goods and services for societal benefit. He represented the rentier side of capitalism: people who don't produce, but amass ownership of things people need and gouge rents out of the population.
Even many capitalists disagree: rentierism is often viewed as unhealthy, both tying up the resources (mostly of poorer individuals) and encouraging investment into forms of wealth generation (mostly by richer individuals) in ways that are unproductive and stifle development.
Some optimists might do, but not the people with control over the surrounding legislation and the rest of the market environment. At least, not in the UK and US.
No, he's a "I'll tie them up in expensive lawsuits for years until they give up and shut down" kind of "business" operator.
People like that actually exist!

BioShock Infinite is a heavy deconstruction/Take That! aimed at jingoistic Manifest Destiny ideology. This included an extraordinarily racist in-universe propaganda poster◊, which features George Washington holding up a liberty bell to ward off racist caricatures of basically everyone in the world that isn't a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, with the caption "For God and Country, It Is Our Holy Duty to Guard Against the Foreign Hordes". This was intended to be over-the-top jingoism, but a Tea Party group missed the satire
More proof that conservatives do not engage with media, they only consume it.People like that actually exist!

Engagement requires thought. It's so much easier to just accept everything at face value and let your betters do the thinking for you.
