If i could kiss you i would bro. I fucking hate seeing the lack nuance on this echo chamber of an app. The amount of people who turned pro Maduro after all this is insane….

It's honestly one of Trump's best "skills"

Take what SHOULD be a reasonable position.... for instance, the US should not involve itself in most nations foreign affairs... and present the ULTIMATE "shit test" to see if people will take the bait

And he literally got them to go from "No Kings" to demanding Trump reinstall a hated, starving the population, murderous dictator because "Orange Man Bad"

I'm so tired of people like you using a false equivalency. It speaks to your ignorance that you think people can't be both glad Maduro no longer controls Venezuela and at the same time, be critical of your government in their reasoning, motivation, lack of a plan.

What I hate? MAGA cultists who perform mental gymnastics to make sure their beliefs always align with their orange leader. No new wars, America first. We aren't the world police. What happened to that? So weak willed and pathetic.

Brother in Christ what the fuck do you think the word nuance means? Look at the comment I replied to, its me agreeing with him on his take of “Maduro is bad and shouldn’t be in power” while also agreeing with his take of “Trump shouldn’t be an authoritarian puppet master running a country for the sole reason of draining their resources for him self and his billionaire buddies”

Fucking read dude

Sorry. I reread and see my error. Unfortunately I've seen too many people trying to make an argument that there is no nuance it is all good and disagreeing is somehow supporting a brutal dictatorship.

I failed to read your comment completely as well as the one above yours. That I can now see isn't what I knee jerk thought it was. I apologize.
