Setting more limits on campaign donations would also be a big help.

But only as a means to keeping/retaining their own power and campaign contributions. If the people could outspend monied interests more conveniently most would probably be out on the streets a lot more shaking hands and kissing babies.

Not included in this article is the numerous times the US Government would kill a bunch of indigenous people and drive them off their land. Or the times we’d forcibly relocate them to small pockets of uninhabitable land and settle where they used to live.

No no no. God’s will only applies to things Republicans like. Like Trump, the Bushes, etc. Anything that they dont like like the Clintons, Obama, etc. are clearly the work of THE DEVIL, and need to be eradicated with prejudice (something they are well known for).

Weird how that works isn’t it? 🤔

For those keeping score:

Foreign bots on social media: bad

Foreign money being used to finance political campaigns, lobbying, etc.: totally fine

(Note: I agree bot farms are bad, but that is a very low effort and bad faith argument for what she is arguing for)

Oof sorry. Gonna need a protractor.

‘Member when conservatives and business interests in Germany thought they control Hitler so they helped enable his rise to power. I ‘member.

While Issue 1 is getting a lot of the focus (deservedly so) in Ohio, also up for vote is Issue 2 for marijuana legalization.

That’s the one!

Tbf there can be a carrot AND a stick. We know Russia gave money to the NRA, who in turn donates heavily to republicans. Those juicy campaign donations from the NRA/the threat of them drying up if you go against what Putin wants are also likely levers being used.

Just like how we turned away Jews fleeing the holocaust, so as you can see it is perfectly fair. /s

Chile. The Kingdom of Hawaii. Russia. Few more Mexico’s in there too. Which we look to be trying to do again!

I mean thats the only one that matters clearly. Who even need Égalité or Fraternité? /s

Time to start threatening to roll out Le Madame.

Ah yes. Steve David Duke Without the Baggage Scalise

The Saudis potentially as well. They dont like Israel, but due to all the Iranian funding they really dont like Hamas. Getting them to kill each other and drain their coffers gives them some breathing room. Plus turmoil in the middle east = increased oil prices = more money for the Saudi Regime.

Eh. Not so surprising that a Dominionist wants to defend Israel. But if he wants to leverage US strength for security then some measure of that has to also be used to restrain Israel from inciting Hamas/Palestine with things like illegal settlements
