Democrats Don't Care About Trump's Real Crimes: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

• By: Caitlin Johnstone

Ask a Democrat what's the worst thing Trump did and they'll talk about pretend nonsense like Russian collusion and insurrection.

The US government is doing literally hundreds of things right now as you read this that are more harmful and concerning than a pretend "insurrection" that never at any time had a higher than zero percent chance of succeeding, but that's the issue liberals have been shrieking about for the last two and a half years.

It's so stupid how today's right wingers pretend they're different from the stuffy warmongering conservatives of previous decades. Trump supporters revealed how phony their faction's antiwar lip service is when their guy assassinated Soleimani; Trump took the US to the brink of war with Iran and everything I said in opposition to this was met with tons of comments from MAGAs cheerleading the assassination and saying the Iranian people need to be free. All of a sudden Politics Twitter was full of 2003 Bush Republicans spouting the exact kinds of rhetoric they were spouting 20 years ago. These people haven't changed at all.

Trump supporters are Bush supporters cosplaying as Ron Paul supporters.

If you place opposing US murderousness and militarism at a high level of importance, then you can't really dispute that Bush was quantifiably worse than Trump. And because this administration actively sabotaged peace between Ukraine and Russia, Biden is arguably worse than Bush.
