no offense, but you can’t be serious… the fascism we’re living in right now is NOTHING BUT “vague threats”-- the brown people, the gays, the trans, the “woke”-- they’re all coming to eat your children. and apparently that’s all that’s needed at this point, because, for one thing, we’re watching the shit happen

This isn’t the wrong conclusion. I’d say about 30% of people believe that fully. 30% is enough to swing a primary when those 30% make up the majority of the Republican cacus.

Then you have another 15% of the population unwilling to switch parties, vague reasons on culture war issues or “fiscal conservatism”.

The final 10% votes on shallow issues. Things like Biden being perceived as old, the economy doing poorly, abortion, or whatever they saw on Facebook last week.

please don’t try to tell me that this nazi fascist authoritarian police state “government” won’t do something without “justification”

I did not say that, I just don’t think it would be recieved favorably.

you are still sitting there thinking that any molecule of trump’s government feels like they need your approval to do whatever tf they want. can i tell you something? THEY DON’T

Neat, I also didn’t say that. I undertake that even pre-Trump the US president could invade any country any time they wanted. They had the authority under law to do so.

What I did say was that if elections happen then a random foreign war would not be favorable for the majority party to retain their seats.

You’ve crafted a very passioned response, but I think you’re saying it to the wrong people. Like I agree with most of what you’re saying, it just doesn’t fit the conversation of the effect a foreign war would have on elections.

I’m well aware the current government is fascist and will do fascist things.

Sure, but let me get ahead of what you’re going to say. 9/11 provided the justification. As of right now, we have not had another 9/11 like event to justify invading another country. Citing a vague threat used to work immediately after 9/11, but that faded after about a decade. All you have to do is look at public opinion of the war in Afghanistan. The vague "threats’ of danger stopped working.

Of course as with all horrible things about 30% of the dumbest demographic will support it no matter what.

why do you think that? tell the public that X is a threat to america, so therefore we need to invade/obliterate X-- done, mission accomplished. see: bush 2

You are forgetting 2 very big reasons why Bush was able to start that war

Truthfully I think a new war now would destroy them. If they let midterms happen

I have thoughts that I hear, but I can’t picture images in my mind. Like I know what a dog looks like, but I can’t see it

That sounds more like a mental illness and not an inner monologue.

Like my inner monologue are just my thoughts…

Yes

I once called Nintendo as a kid when my DS hinge broke for no reason. I had it for under a year and there was info about a warranty. They told me that they had already fixed that defect and they would not cover it.

For portability I think I would use an older android phone loaded with your OS choice.

The iPad and phone both have cameras anyway just the phone is lighter. Keep it no sim and in airplane mode
