The media agitation is aimed at blue states, because blue states have the highest population of anti-war people.
We’re not going to get a story about Texas being targeted by Iran, because Texans are largely on board with the war. We’re going to get an endless earful about California and New York and Minnesota and Oregon, because it gives reactionary media an opportunity to scream “Why are you rooting for Radical Islamic Jihadists?! THEY WANT TO KILL YOU!!”
Also, provides another great excuse for Trump when he decides to send in ICE to rough up brown people in SF or LA.
I think support for the war in Texas and similar red states is weaker than you’d think, but with enough dumb F**ks who would be brought back in line with a false flag attack.
The Republican political majority and much of the nationally elected DINO contingent fully backs the war. Maybe the people don’t, but they’ll continue to send up people who do to make decisions on their behalf.
Or just an AI video overlaid with TikTok voice that claims there was an Iranian attack.
5 democrats voted against reining in this current attack. And 3 republicans voted for it. But sure, they’re both the same 🙄
Just enough defections to guarantee the resolution fails. Cuellar is, incidentally, the highest ranking Dem on the House Appropriations Committee, a job Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries allows him to keep despite needing Trump’s Presidential pardon to stay out of jail.
Vargas is, similarly, a steaming pile of shit who squats on one of the bluest districts in the country.
You can go down the list. These are all enabled by national leadership and state level corporate money. They’re symptoms of a corrupt and diseased partisan system.
