The End of America's Well-Intentioned Empire

Dan Perry: The world was hugely interested in the U.S. presidential election -- and everywhere people are wondering what the return of Donald Trump will mean in geopolitics. But is America interested in the world?

"American voters were rarely much animated by foreign policy, but the political establishment certainly was.

And if you hear speeches by presidents from Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush and Barack Obama you will observe a striking bipartisan consensus about using American might to further democracy, freedom, and liberal values."

'
"All of this"70 years of this American approach"came to a crashing thud with the election of Donald Trump in 2016.

Trump's "America First" foreign policy marked a stark departure from decades of bipartisan support for international engagement."

.

We were forced to engage internationally by the Nazi threat of WWII, which knew no boundaries and threatened to bring it's conquering forces to America after it finished with Europe and Asia.

See the Nazi Convention in Madison Square Garden in 1938 for further details.

a positive reaction to the good things about America is the last thing I expect when I posted that

here and in couple of other places.

I"ll give a warning that good news may be within the post and leftist-dogma klan kooks may want to think twice.

because good news for America is bad news for leftists.

That's because the first thing your cult leader did when coming to power is to tell you all professional journalists are lying about him. As fascists always do.

And it worked on you because you're such a chump.

So who won the 2020 election?

#11 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2024-11-13 03:24 PM

leftist definitions are shvt.

-win electoral votes 312 -226
-win popular vote
-gains among Latinos, Black men and young voters.
-sweep "battleground " states.
-7 GOP governors / 23 democrat governors.

THESE ARE NOT THE RESULTS OF A "CULT"

Continuing to use that absurdity is the mark of a bigot and the tool of the ignorant... incapable of
producing any meaningful response to the election results.
--Continuing to use it is the definition of a godam lie and a waste of everyone's time.

#13 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2024-11-13 03:30 PM

riiiight........the "cult" gained +13 in Latino members..

idiot....

Whatever you say, cultist.

Just keep ignoring reality and supporting that criminal rapist, Trump.

Not ever trump voter is in the cult. Some are ignorant morons who fell for fascist propaganda. Some are evil sociopaths who know he's a con man but want tax breaks.

Then there are the cult members like you who swallow every lie he vomits and attack whoever he tells you to hate.

Yeah, facts are optional in Cults.

Dems whipped Inflation and made America the best recovery in the world economically from a Pandemic that your Leader failed to handle at all.

But rwing media, the total crap you consume, is about to start telling you how Great! the economy is
in a couple of months... because Trump is President.

And like Charlie Brown's attempted kickoffs, you'll be fooled by Lucy yet again.

Totally off topic but Portly Pig just appointed Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. MATT GAETZ! A child molesting AG. Moms-keep your daughters locked inside the house and cancel your internet service.

"you people" can talk cult and putin and fascist and yada yada yada yada until clownshack starts dating women.... :)
and it "don't mean shvt".

majority of voters said you're full of shvt.....and that majority included more blacks and other people of
color and middle to lower class than any recent time if ever.

I know saying it here in front of your booty buddies makes your loins moist and you think you're really being edgy or hard core...
but it just doesn't matter...except when you think it makes you "somebody".....
"somebody": in a coven of hate mongering bigots....

#30 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2024-11-13 04:45 PM

This difference between you and Trump is that Trump knows he's lying constantly, and doing as Anne Coulter said, "stupid" sh0t... and you believe the whole stupid cult set of lies he's told you.

Donald Trump committed crimes trying to stay in power; people who were under him in the Conspiracy are now in prison because they broke multiple Federal and State Laws... as did he.

You know nothing, ShrimpDick Snow.

Anyone here could read old Rush Limbaugh rants and see what you write every day.

Finally you post something true.

Precisely. I wonder what cabinet appointments or even federal policies during the present administration were the results of wanting to pwn the MAGAts.

Who are the infants here?

#37 | Posted by Dbt2 at 2024-11-13 08:04 PM

Lat time trumps administration managed to even offend the gov. of MS. to the point the state officially told his admin to go jump in a lake.

It's a nice way of saying feck off.

"What number is "You didn't realize the extent of russia's propaganda war against gullible americans"?"

Or how about "You didn't learn a damn thing from the mistakes made in the 2016 election, and you let Trump troll you."?

I was warning you guys that you were making some of the same mistakes, but you scoffed. And you lost.

#40 | Posted by sentinel at 2024-11-13 08:26 PM

No Open Primary. Kamala Anointed like Royalty. Genocide as Business as Usual.

Ignoring the Obvious Economic Doldrums of Half the Country. Talking up a Two Tiered Economy as So Fabulous for everyone who Mattered.

Biden broke with Organized Labor on the Railroad Strikes.

Kamala never separated herself from Biden in Any Way.

The Dems BELIEVE their Own BS...

That's the Biggest One.
