They should be pointing that shit at red states realistically
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, 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.
I think you might be onto something. All of my dumbfuck fellow Texans aren't answering many questions these days on how they feel about the new Iran war. The ones who talk say that Kamala would have done the same thing.
B-b-but, isn't that why you voted for the peaceful never-war president??? Good God, I wonder what else he may have lied about!!!
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 🙄
Funny how there's always just enough Democrats crossing the aisle to gain the desired outcome but never more. It's almost as if the distinction between parties is political theater since neither side is ever allowed to be held accountable for not living up to their rhetoric.
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.
It is however historically proven that attacks on the civilian population not only don't demoralise the people but in fact allign the people much better with the state and the war goals than amy other means
“Put a boot in their ass, it’s the American way” etc. etc.
They are. But America is planning an attack that looks like Iran on the best state that makes them look bad.
wat
The person you are replying to is suggesting a vindictive false flag event is being prepared. Classic conspiratorial banter.
But it’s 2026, so dismissing it as conspiratorial thinking/banter is possibly exactly what this admin wants. It’s a really fucked up time period.
Ah, thank you. I couldn't parse it at all before. This makes some degree of sense.
Translation: False flag attack by the Trump Regime on California.
There isn't anything worth attacking in most red states.
Trump's palace?
Oil refineries
The best refinery targets would be the ones that handle domestic US oil production, and many of those are located in blue states as well.
Really
Not Alabama Oklahoma or Texas? Near the source of the oil
Have you heard of Alaska?
Is that a blue state

Smart cutting off the coasts so you don't look like a moron.
Follow the link
Right, and doing that shows the large number of refineries in blue states, exactly as I said.
Why would you specifically zoom into the Midwest while arguing there aren't refineries on the coasts?
I mentioned Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas...so I zoomed into those states. The other guy mentioned Alaska and blue states. All he did was call me names
You're telling me nobody is interested in attacking the largest ball of twine in America or the biggest rocking chair in the world?
Most important military installations are in red states.
You mean like the the largest concentration of deployed nuclear weapons in America and the largest strategic airbases and navy yards? Oh shit, those are all in blue states.
Where do you clowns get your ideas from?
Reality.
Most nuclear missile sites are in the Great Plains, which are mostly red states. Most military bases are in the south, all red states. But there are a bunch in CA, WA, and VA/DC/MD too.
Today appears to be the day that you learned about nuclear submarines and where they live
“Death to America” does not mean death to red states.
