I don’t think you understand the consequences of these ‘rebels’ toppling Assad. As for the Syrian Democratic Forces, well, I’m pretty sure they don’t trust America like Ereiam has stated already.

It remains unknown if that’s true. There’s only one source and that’s Twitter, and no other major news orgs have reported on it.

Trump has named Kash Patel as FBI Director. As Devin Nunes’s aide, he played a key role in interfering with Congressional investigation into Russian meddling in our elections.

Any chance America in 2028 will be a military dictatorship under Eternal President Donald Trump?

Oh he is, he just ignores every reason, sits in a straightjacket and yells “THAT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE! CHECKS AND BALANCES! SJHFUSDJFKS”
He’s completely deluded.

I’ve been saying people should criticize their own camp, and now we’re seeing the result of not doing that.
@Background Pony #10F6
I think they’re the user who pretends that Trump isn’t cut from the same cloth as the person oppressing them. I pray the check and balances will hold up for us.

Yes, according to the law and Constitution there’s nothing Trump can do. 2 terms max.
Now as long as famously law-abiding Donald Trump continues to famously abide by the law, there’s nothing to worry about.

Leaving any political facts aside, those who are alarmed by Trump’s perpetual dictatorship seem to forget that the guy is almost the same age as Biden when he came to power, he is not going to be able to govern for 20 years like Putin did even if he wanted to.

Sure but it feels crass to hope that Big Mac induced heart attack he’s been working on for 80 years happens sooner rather than later.
I’m cynical but I like to think I’m not bitter, yet.

A couple months ago, independent journalist and prominent critic of the Edmonton police Duncan Kinney was charged with the 2021 vandalism of a bust sculpture honoring Ukrainian Nazi collaborator Roman Shukhevych. Kinney has denied these allegations, stating that an anonymous source sent him photos of the anti-Nazi graffiti sprayed on the bust which he subsequently published, and maintained that he is being set up in order to discredit his criticism of the police.
Today, Kinney posted a thread with screenshots showing that Edmonton police had committed over 180 man hours across 7 months stalking him and his family to monitor everything he did in his day to day life. Supposedly this was necessary to gather evidence that he had defaced the statue, of which they collected none.
Methinks his criticism of the cops is warranted.

Oh also, I wanted to throw my two cents in on this but forgot.
I believe you when you say that you are conservative, because most of what you say is in line with a conservative in the dictionary definition of the word. That is, to avoid drastic change in public policy and society in one direction or the other. While you haven’t said it outright, you strike me as someone who favors a measured and cautious approach to political issues.
Initially I considered whether you could be called a conservative in the Burkean tradition, but you stated that all are equal under God, whereas a Burkean traditionalist would argue that humanity is inherently hierarchical and society should be organized accordingly.
You haven’t commented much on economic issues, but if I had to guess, I imagine Christian democracy (small d here, not the Democratic Party) is a potential fit. These are devout and politically active Christians who are moderate to conservative on social issues, but are moderate, liberal, even slightly progressive on economic issues. That said, they do still reject socialism. Christian democrats favor government intervention in the economy and a welfare state, but also want private property rights to be respected.
Circling back to the crux of the issue, though. I think that Republicans have badly polluted the definition of “conservative,” and American media has just gone along with it. Because when I look at the MAGA movement and the GOP as it is now, I use the terms “reactionary,” “ultranationalist,” and “fascist.” There’s nothing conservative about the the self-styled “conservative party” in 2024.
