To get out of the Great Depression. War was the only way.
To get out of this terrible Great Inflation (since COVID), War again is the only way.
Sad, true.
But the baddies have you by the balls currently.
Guess you gotta stop giving them your lunch money and put up a fight or eventually hang yourself for letting them beat you into oblivion.

Jason, that's an impressive amount of words to avoid answering a very simple question.

You've gone from the American Civil War to the Cherokee to whatever that "Red East vs Blue North" fan fiction is supposed to be, and somehow still haven't explained the one thing that actually matters here.

Donald Trump holds the presidency, has control of government, and is the one making the decisions. If he can't negotiate a deal or avoid escalation, that's on him. Not the opposition, not the media, not some reimagined 19th-century allegory, him.

So I'll ask again, nice and clearly.

What exactly do you expect "the left" to do in this situation?

And while you're at it, be consistent, did you expect Republicans to roll over and help Barack Obama or Joe Biden govern when they were in power, or is this one of those convenient double standards you only apply when it suits?

Because at the moment, all you've done is dodge the question and replace it with historical cosplay and slogans.

Try again.

You've gone from unproven claims, to conspiracy filth about Joe Biden's family, to now quoting TISM like it's a substitute for an argument, all while still refusing to engage with a single concrete point that was put to you.

Let's be absolutely clear, none of what you've written addresses outcomes, evidence, or accountability. It's just a rotating cycle of slogans, historical cosplay, and chest-beating about "strength" and "change" that collapses the moment it's asked to explain anything in the real world.

You talk about "making new rules" because the old ones have failed, yet conveniently ignore that those "old rules" include things like international law, alliances, and institutions such as the United Nations that have, for all their flaws, prevented large-scale conflict between major powers for decades. Tearing that down without a coherent alternative isn't progress, it's vandalism dressed up as bravery.

And this fantasy that brute force and "first punch" thinking somehow leads to stability is historically illiterate. That mindset is exactly what escalates conflicts, not resolves them. You don't get peace by normalising escalation and pretending it's strength.

More to the point, you are still dodging the same questions:

If Donald Trump has "done more good than bad", then demonstrate it with actual outcomes, not vibes. Explain the economic trajectory. Explain the instability. Explain how any of this constitutes success beyond slogans.

Because right now, all you've got is abuse, deflection, and increasingly unhinged rhetoric about "cowards" and "evolution" that reads less like political analysis and more like someone trying to shout down reality.

You don't get to claim the mantle of strength while hiding from basic scrutiny. If your position had substance, you wouldn't need to bury it under this much noise.

So either make a real argument, backed by evidence, or stop pretending this is anything more than ideological venting, or have you got nothing on me?
