    Sure wish literally anyone on the US “left” had half the courage of their convictions as MAGA trash.

    But by all means, keep clutching your pearls and feeling morally superior.

      You can always cross the border and satisfy your bloodlust, but we both know you’ll say “it isn’t my fight” and not do shit. Just go back to feeling morally superior from the comfort of your home.

        Golly, it’s just so hard to understand why, when actually faced with the prospect, people are so reluctant to start killing their neighbors and relatives!

        It’s not about bloodlust, it’s about not being sitting ducks

        It’s your country that’s falling apart, it’s going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)

          Yep, there it is: “it isn’t my fight.” News flash: if the US falls, you guys will be next. Stop trying to shame others for things you’re not (and wouldn’t be) willing to do yourself.
