Has she been hawkish? I’m not seeing that - I see she once said she supports “very limited use of drones” and that’s it. Well, and also that time she condemned Trump when he illegally droned Qassem Soleimani.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Gay marriage started getting legalized in the US in 2004. In 2006, Russia began distributing anti-LGBT propaganda. In June 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down DOMA and Russia began to criminalize the distribution of pro-LGBT materials to minors. People in Russia really to believe that queer people are a myth made up by Western ideology.
There’s almost a direct relationship - as we were more accepted in the US, Russia became more queerphobic.
The government isn’t going to collapse just because Tulsi Gabbard is pro-Snowden and anti-NATO.
What will collapse are the overseas assets and transational corporations and military bases and intelligence assets and NGOs and US-lead task forces and all the other shit that Tulsi Gabbard is going to be responsible for - as in, the most evil shit on Earth.
The empire will collapse. The government is going to be fine.
It’s not important as long as the government gives Musk more money. Why should he care if these Teslas are lawn ornaments?
They just see queer people as Western decadence/bourgeois moral decay etc. If the US reverses position, they will too.
Also, we fought for our rights before and won. We’ll do it again. We don’t need to ally ourselves with an evil empire.
The empire collapsing is not the same as the country collapsing and the empire must be destroyed for future of humanity. The US, as a country, can absolutely survive without being an empire. I’m celebrating the death of a death machine.
We don’t have to let our home be destroyed and we should stand up to Trump’s regime on domestic issues. I’m hardly an accelerationist. I’m trans! They’re gonna fucking kill me and I’m not celebrating that. But I am a revolutionary defeatist. In cases like this, where the empire is being destroyed and dismantled by people like Tulsi Gabbard, we should be happy it’s not worse.
Don’t confuse the country for the empire. They’re not really the same thing.
No one is going to be lined up for a firing squad because of Tulsi Gabbard. She’s just going to ruin the US intelligence community, which is easily one of the most evil institutions on Earth. This is literally the only good nomination, she’s perfect.
I’m more worried about the dipshits running the FDA and HHS into the ground ensuring bird flu becomes pandemic. How long until they make raw milk mandatory in school lunches? 🤮
Imagine not being excited for the destruction of the US empire.
Individualism is a right wing ideology dawg
I want Democrats to wake the fuck up, what are you talking about? Why did it take y’all so long? We’ve been telling you since Bush!
Bush stole the election in 2000 and y’all acted like it didn’t happen.
How long until no one trusts US election integrity anymore?
Republicans say it’s rigged when Democrats win. Are Democrats going to start saying it’s rigged when Republicans win?
If this is a fascist coup why won’t they just kill the ones who complain?
Complaining to them is what they’re there for. Make it clear to the ones who represent you that you demand action on this.
If if you actually believe this is a fascist coup, then why wouldn’t they just write down your name and address and then come and shut you up later when they have more power?
I’m trying to point out how sports are only a very small portion of Trump’s illegal orders.
How does your explanation address the obedience of hospitals or schools or prisons? The scale and scope of what Trump is doing is so far beyond sports and I have no idea why you think sports are the key to understanding the stituation. Sports institutions aren’t the only ones bowing down to these illegal orders, and so that begs the question: why are the others obeying in advance?
Sports weren’t even the first thing Trump went after.
Interesting that people believe we’re gonna have elections where Dems are allowed to win.
Because he’s letting them do what they’ve always wanted.
And the media! When Musk did a Nazi salute they all fell all over each other to run cover for him and “both sides” the issue. When his obvious government wrecking DOGE agency torches important programs it’s just presented as a “tough efficiency program”. The whole mainstream media is trying to pretend everything is normal.
You can’t be neutral on a moving train. If they aren’t even delaying the fascist they’re helping.
