Graduating from murder to grand theft. This whole thing is so surreal—completely fabricated without even a basic effort at misdirection, and this time, everything’s broken enough that everyone’s just like “when do the air strikes start”
All the chuds I know believe in this "narcoterrorism" bullshit 100% completely. And despite libs claiming they're against it, they always preface with "yeah Maduro's a dictator tho"
They don't even need to try to misdirect, people just support it anyway.
Yeah that’s probably accurate—like the general center to right position is that Venezuela should be toppled, so they just require the skimpiest of fig leaves to hide under to lend their support.
I saw reporting on a poll yesterday where it claimed 48 % of US disapproved of a military campaign, and it was being presented as an example of how this was unpopular. To me, the fact tha 52ish % of the pop either supports it or doesn’t have a strong opinion is absurd. I remember the bush years and the constant let’s get Chavez bullshit, but like what has Venezuela actually ever done to the US other than attempt to remain sovereign and do what they want in their country… and more than half the US wants to blow up their country for that? If I thought they all subconsciously understood the oil angle and were supportive because it would be a good exploitive opportunity, I could at least see logic, but I don’t think the majority of them are cold hard realists.
