wealthy Cubans, Pahlavists, Bukele fans, MAGA, etc

Honestly your question(s) seem kind of race baiting in a mild way. Like you are looking for an answer you already have and just need confirmation.

It's exactly this. America was at its greatest risk of self-annihilation when it was way whiter than today. Also, America was more multicultural and diverse during its founding than PCC is acknowledging but these types collapse all intraracial diversity into just race and assume that culture is genetically/racially transmitted.

I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite happened given how this gimp's companies are known for being divorced from the fundamentals.

Worst neighbors ever.

Does the blackmail even matter anymore? Bibi could drop 4K footage of him doing the same shit documented in the files and I'm convinced he's not leaving office until he dies or is forced out.

Let's be real though. Iran expects Trump and Netanyahu to keep sabotaging this deal one way or another and is fine with them manufacturing consent to close the Strait and bomb more US/Israeli assets.

They also give our surveillance state their surveillance tech and cyberweapons they developed using Palestinians as guinea pigs. They host our police departments and teach them how to treat our citizenry like Palestinians as well.

Attitudes around public transport have to change. It's seen as a thing poor people use in some cities so the affluent kill expansion efforts. And even where it doesn't have that stigma, nobody wants to pay for infrastructure.

Yeah I got tired of the coin toss of if the update was gonna brick my PC or not

Agreed. People on online politics spaces tend to be very informed and assume the average person is similarly informed. From convos I've overheard or the amount of basic questions I've had to answer, I don't think the average American has even heard of Gaza/West Bank/Palestine/Hamas or Netanyahu and probably only know Israel because it's in the Bible.

The father was a narcissist who abused the mother which was the beginning of the Tate brothers' misogyny.

Normies just aren't going to self host nor do they give a shit that big tech harvests their data.

In his narcissism he might actually believe that “fake unemployed people are making the job numbers worse”.

This would be on par for the guy who wanted to "Stop the Count" and figured you don't have a pandemic if you don't test.

To be fair to the lemmy leftists in this hypothetical, often when a few dems break rank, that means leadership picked the fewest, safest ones to take the heat. AIPAC and centrist Dems are problematic. (Although lemmy leftists will shit on all Democrats because they want Republican whackjobs to run this country into the ground.)

He absolutely thought it would be like Venezuela and purged anyone who (would have) told him this would be a terrible idea.

Interesting. I heard the same thing for disability.

Useless to whom? Trump won his first term in part due to online sowing of voting apathy in those likely to be left of center as we saw in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The online left will also push Kremlin talking points. If you're MAGA or Putin, the online left is very useful.

The government has been trying this weird half-assed interventionism since actual interventionism is such a hard sell post-Iraq and Afghanistan. Some bombing here, an attempt to arm rebel groups there... and if it fails, that's for the locals to clean up. I'd argue this goes back to Obama and Trump continued it, but in a room temp IQ way that only Trump can manage.

The electorate on both sides have definitely soured on Israel, organically. I only expect the evangelicals to stay the same. AIPAC is having to reach deep into its war chest to buy elections and increasingly obfuscate its contributions through shell PACs now.
