horses in that midstream

Welp
*looks at watch*
we’re right on track to a war with Iran less than 18 months be­fore the Gen­er­al Elec­tion, just in time for Trump to re­mind every­one we “shouldn’t switch hors­es mid­stream” and stu­pid peo­ple will fall for it.

It’s so car­toon­ish­ly trans­par­ent and bad. Like, they’re not even trying. 

Start a war,
which al­ways bol­sters ap­proval num­bers (be­cause Amer­i­cans have a mis­placed sense of pa­tri­o­tism and pride) and make sure the war is with a group of peo­ple who are al­ready per­ceived as
“bad”
i.e. Mus­lims.

Bonus: All the crazy evan­gel­i­cals who will ex­cit­ed­ly shit them­selves over Trump ush­er­ing in the end times, only for us to still be around in thir­ty+ years but just far worse off be­cause of their frus­trat­ing and ridicu­lous­ly ig­no­rant decisions.

I am in­cred­i­bly frus­trat­ed by the unchecked stu­pid­i­ty and gulli­bil­i­ty of my fel­low Americans.

Good times.
