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.
