Ted Cruz, a POLITICIAN, is upset that a reporter asked him a political question. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR JOB IS, TED?

@ewokwarrior2656 2 года назад

Grifting. Rage spouting. Fox-splaining in misinfo- speak. Lyin' Ted Raphael Cancun Canuck Cuban Cruz who only dropped his dual citizenship to not only run for Senate but for President of a country he wasn't born in and mainly to stop embarrassing Canada for having any connection to him, believe those things are his job as a (shudder) Senator.

In the end they only care for their own desires and nothing else, and they got here by desperate politicians selling the freedoms of others to buy votes. But at this rate the second civil war is around the corner as the point of no return is quickly approaching. Though this is likely to be embraced as the far-right see their shrinking voter numbers and would rather strike now than change their political platform.

@vetreas366 2 года назад

The correct answer is "propaganda" propelled by jingoistic and chauvinistic interests (do not confuse with "male chauvinism" specifically) and aided by the massive media presence of the US in popular culture and their retaliatory potential in terms of economic matters (i.e being unliked by the US closes a lot of doors for countries that want to create opportunities for trade and diplomacy). So basically good PR with a hearty dose of fear of economical/literal annihilation has built up the US as the "home of the free" and a "land of opportunity" despite both monikers being severely out of date. Also Ronda, people who are dissatisfied with their country usually try to work and improve it, they don't just leave. Or are you under the impression that people are incapable of loving something and being disappointed by it at the same time?

@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697 2 года назад

Writing from america. You likely would feel safer in those countries, because when a mass shooting happens, the guns laws in those countries are IMMEDIATELY changed, closing loopholes, making it harder to get a gun. Sadly, there are too many “real” republicans who refuse to change, they’d rather get money and support from the NRA.

It's both. There's a stunning clip of Newt Gingrich tacitly acknowledging that objectively the US is far safer than a couple of decades ago, but saying "I'll go with what the voters think". Of course it's the GOP's job to TELL the voters what to think, (ie, America is in imminent danger from within), but they can also leak out bits of truth on the topic, at other times, and subject to strict moderation, if it suits the agenda of a proportion of their paymasters (the lobbies, who actually write US laws)

@Gottenhimfella 2 года назад

There's plenty of irony to go around. There's no irony deficiency, for sure. For instance, the GOP thinks infants are infinitely precious, and they constitute an absolute and implacable ban machine when it comes to protecting their right to life. One tiny detail: it seems the small print must stipulate they're precious only up until they're born. Then it's a fatalistic mass shrug from Republican legislators and gun worshippers alike, "Hey, watcha gonna do? Banning evil never works"

I wouldn't be surprised if a gunman either got someone to pull the fire alarm or posed as a volunteer at the school and pulled the fire alarm knowing everyone exiting the building from that one door would be running directly into the line of fire with nowhere to go as a traffic jam of people occurred. What of the guards at the door? They'd be dead before they could aim and fire at the head of the gunman with the fully automatic rifles who's wearing full body armor.
