I kind of imagine carrying a firearm to be the real-world version of wielding the ring in LoTR, it makes you feel powerful at first but then you just become an increasingly craven terrified and amoral shadow of your former self.

Also its critical to remember that the Taliban resuming control of Afghanistan is 1000% :smugdon: fault. If it was accidental or intentional is hard to say, but either way:
i'm trying to do this no notes, so if i get something wrong tell me and i'll correct it

Ashraf Ghani was the maybe-democratically elected president of Afghanistan. Dude was a crooked thief, but he wasn't the Taliban. While Ghani held the office of president of Afghanistan, in reality that means Kabul and the immediate vicinity - the ASNF and the Taliban were still very much fighting it out in the mountains. :chaostrump: wanted to GTFO out of Afghanistan so he moved for the US to broker a deal with the Taliban directly. (Also IIRC TORMP made a lot of noise about how corrupt Ghani was, but in retrospect it really seems like TROMP wanted to get him killed). The US and Taliban signed a peace deal, (5000 Taliban prisoners may have been released, either to open the deal or to close it :shrug:) which had secret annexes describing :stare: US Troop Locations :stare: . The US didn't disclose the deal to the ASNF or Ghani, so basically most of the ASNF woke up one morning to find out that their US air support was gone, and the Taliban increased its attacks 10x. It was pretty obvious to the police and ASNF on the outskirts of coalition-controlled territory that they needed to cut a deal with the Taliban now, while they could, because nobody was coming for them. Once the outskirts started cutting their own deals, there was no choice for the remaining defenders - make a deal or be horribly butchered.

Ghani fled, Kabul fell, :smugdon: Art Of The Deal, baby.

Moved from the great white nowhere of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to a mildly large city and this is literally the conversation every week when I talk to family/old friends that never got out.

The fear-mongering is loving ridiculous.

That's precisely the kind of town I moved from and YEP. There were like 10 registered sex offenders for every kid and some guy behind us literally got raided for multiple homicide charges when I was visiting during college one year. Like, yeah, I see some crazy poo poo in the city once in a while but we had poo poo stolen out of our garage, like, every loving week when we lived out in the backwater and I've had more run-ins with violent crazy fucks out there way more often than I have in the city.

My parents, who even lived in Queens, NYC for a few years while I was with them, cannot comprehend that a city can be just as safe, if not safer, than the loving meth outposts of the midwest thanks to 20-some years of constant fear bullshit. It's wild as gently caress. Pointing out all the armed confrontations with neighbors and poo poo over things like speakers, lawn equipment, etc. Yeah, that's just good ole fashioned american living. Fireworks in the city? YOU NEED A CCW AND YOU NEED TO LEAVE THE CITY IMMEDIATELY, MUDLARK.

Yup, I came from small town of 7,500 located in Gym Jordan's congressional district, and my eyes popped when I caught the name of my hometown scroll across the chryon while eating breakfast at an Orlando Double Tree. A local militia was caught on tape plotting to kill a cop and then kill more cops at the funeral, and then eventually overthrow the government. Fantastic to see one of the chuds they'd rounded up was a bully who'd filmed himself loving with one of my town's autistic members and uploaded it to YouTube. People in cities learn how to live with each other and get along- the small fraction that don't usually get their rear end handed to them. People who live out in rural areas are the same- but the small fraction of sociopaths run around unchecked abusing the poo poo out of other people, afraid that they'd get treated the same way by other people if there were more of them around to do something about it.

as a very very white man in a very very blue collar job i talk to a LOT of trump voters, talk in quotes because trump voters fall into two camps:

the angry people that believe whatever they're told to
the clueless people that believe whatever they're told

you can't really talk to them but i, as a skilled employee with little to no fear of losing their job i can, and do, try to engage these people in low key conversations while i'm working

i can say, without a doubt, that this political fact WILL come up before the election. there are two scenarios:

"at least trump didn't start no wars!!" (the demographics of this "angry" group are old white men, clearly mentally unwell people, and skinny tweakers)
i will gently push back with facts
they will angrily deny the truth straight out. "fake news" or "no it's not". they just will not engage with the truth. i've had people refuse to look at news site on my phone.

"but trump didn't start no wars!" (the oddly smug demographic for the "clueless" group are usually very large men and grandmas)
i will gently push back with facts
"oh? huh." *silence* or a mumbled "i don't talk about politics" (i have NEVER started a conversation about politics) i used to take this silence as them thinking about the issue but now i realize they were just justifying their vote using this flimsy pretext and will just slide over to another flimsy pretext

this poo poo is why i'm a "doomer", or "pessimist" as loving adults say, i see this poo poo every day and have for twenty years. i had to stop reading the political cartoon thread because people repeat that poo poo. the dumbest, lowest hanging loving stupid drivel i have heard from people's mouths. did you know trump is one of the most successful people in america? or that he donated every dollar of what he made as president to america? or that he's "never taken a tax cut"?? I KNOW IT because dozens of people inform me all the time. i have had multiple people on multiple days tell me the same "fact" multiple times. did you know hilary never went to 9/11 but trump was there every day?"
oh do you have evidence that any of that isn't true?
no you don't.
i don't talk about politics.

i will say one of the very best times was when me and a drat near 90 year old vietnam vet lutheran church worker hugged it out over abortion.
we had absolutely opposite opinions on the subject. 100% complete and total disagreement on every issue but one: it's not the government's loving business. not state, not federal, not any. that was awesome

so, to sum up, that's who the information is for: people who it will be absolute fact for, and people who it will be a positive fact but not really change their mind if it isn't

"i will vote for trump 100% because of this fact!"
"it's not true"
"i will still be voting for trump 100%"

Yeah these people are beyond saving and not worth reasoning with. They are morons who derive emotional support and satisfaction from Trump because he’s a bully and they like feeling powerful and spiteful without repercussions. That’s also why they hate any kind of limitation or slight rebuke on Trump; it cuts right to the heart of their power fantasy and feels like an attack on them. There’s a reason these guys all look like greasy, unlovable fat fuxks: they are. That’s why they’ve latched onto the Uber Useless Brokebrain Narcissist as their spirit animal. If you ever get them drunk and talk politics it all degenerates into the talking points of right wing facebook memes: Kamala Harris only got there by sleeping her way to the top; Michelle Obama is a man; Obama is gay; Biden is braindead/bought by china. It doesn’t make sense but it’s how they conceive of the world and they can justify feeling better about themselves because the bad guys “hate America” and they don’t.

The reason I’m not a doomer about it is because I think they only make up like 30-40% of the population.

Well, Tucker is the stepson of the heir of the Swanson frozen dinner empire because Tucker's birth mother almost immediately left his father after Tucker was born. Tucker's grandfather made an even more grand exit.

Oh, no doubt that was the end result of our involvement there, Trump releasing the people who led the takeover after we withdrew would have been an amazing self own if he had won a second term. Instead he lost and everyone blames Biden for the Afghanistan withdrawal which he had delayed in order to make it less of a clusterfuck.
