Admittedly the only Trump supporters I know are petite bourgeois and they are all definitely human garbage.

I despise Hilldawg as much as anyone here, but she was correct with this comment of hers and the right intentionally made it seem like she was talking about all of Trump’s supporters when she clearly wasn’t.

It really was exceptional how some truly awful people like David Duke and Richard Spenser and others were coming out of the woodwork to support Trump (because he was the only GOP politician to come out and talk about immigration and deportation). I’m talking about open white supremacists - the absolute right fringe. If you followed these neo-Nazi groups like I did at the time, they were all thrilled about Trump, it was a real phenomenon. These are people who usually never endorsed even republicans before. Hillary was pointing out that hey, if some of the people who we all agree are terrible are supporting Trump maybe that says something. That’s not how the right took it and I think they worked up their hog base over it, even though it was deployed cynically by them.

This has been a thing in Mexico for a couple decades now, just not on the scale of China and also because Mexico isn’t communist the economic benefits aren’t getting reinvested into the country but instead are retained by American corporations.

Everything I have seen so far indicates that the people of Lebanon are doing what humans tend to always do when their homeland is invaded: rally around a defense (Hezbollah, in this case). So… good luck with that.

Also, I believe this “problem” is also partially caused by the US and Israel. The Lebanese army is very poorly equipped and always has been because Israel doesn’t actually want them to be well equipped and able to mount a defense. I just think Israel never anticipated that Hezbollah would become so powerful.

Thank you, nasrallah , your wisdom and leadership has likely saved Lebanon.

but those actually allow you to paint an (imperfect) timeline and create groupings (haplogroups)

Based on what he said during his life, I can’t imagine he could have dreamt of a better way to go. What a hero.

I really think Bernie and others just don’t get it. Like, you can craft a message to try and appeal to voters who were sitting out / voting 3P by, for example, just focusing on things Trump has said and done re: Israel. But dropping “Israel has a right to defend itself” and not calling it a genocide will just piss off those voters.
