America On Repeat: Another Law-Breaking, War-Mongering Republican President Enabled By a Feckless Democratic Party Leadership.
It's War on Terror all over again. The era of 9/11 has returned. President Donald Trump may invoke the Monroe Doctrine, but he's cosplaying George W. Bush as well (George W. Trump?). And just like those times of yellow cake and weapons of mass destruction, the leadership of the Democratic Party (with their members and voters not too far behind) are proving to be weak and impotent, whining about procedures and notification while another countries legally elected leader is on trial in foreign soil after being kidnapped by the US military:
It can't be stressed enough that any daylight of difference between Democrats and Republicans on foreign policy is negligible. They barely differed on Gaza. They both see Russia and China as a threat. Now Democrats are doing their "we agree with the goal, not the method" schtick they do whenever a GOP president runs amok over the planet.
The best message Americans can send, if they are truly tired of this duopolistic rule, is to reject both parties for the next several election cycles. Vote/support/donate/whatever to anyone not running as a Democrat or a Republican. "What if they lose?" Who cares? America is better off with the two major parties (let alone the donors) freaking out because their margins of victory are getting smaller and smaller with each election, and if it's done right, even the mainstream media won't be able to ignore it.
To paraphrase Chris Hedges: we don't fight back just to win, we fight back because we should fight back.
