This is also still peddling the false “30 year life expectancy” that is completely not true when accounting for the high infant mortality, so the initial premise is false.

I mean I think that might have been true historically but it is not the case today.
The US obviously doesn’t really wage wars domestically anymore sp whatever infrastructure is built for these wars I would imagine presumably occurs in foreign countries. Some evidence for this point would be gestures at the general state of American infrastructure. One of the unifying features across America is complaining about shitty roads that never get fixed. And I seem to remember reading a report a little while ago about the vast majority of bridges in the US being past overdue for maintenance.
And while wars generally do generate money to some degree (increased manufacturing, i.e. ww2 lifting us out of the Depression) modern wars tend to end up with money being extracted from the taxpayer and just concentrated in the hands of the already wealthy.
I’m happy to be corrected though if anybody has any research that points to the contrary.
There is no way that is not an mp40 lmao they’re not even trying with the fascist propaganda anymore

I do agree with you that Vance is a buffoon, but underestimating people like him is exactly how we got Trump in the first place. People just assumed he was doing it as a goof and had no real chance of winning and then he won. Twice.
It’s entirely possible that when Trump dies or if he leaves office (it is really depressing that I have to say if there) the GOP will just pick Vance to take his place. We know the Republican base will gobble up whatever garbage is shoved down their throats so it’s really not that hard to believe.
