LA man, you're not keeping up

I'm keeping up fine. President Trump hasn't deployed Marines to any U. S. City.

U.S. officials said the Marine troops were deployed to protect federal property and personnel, including federal immigration agents.

give up

Every political movement defines an opponent. The difference is what the group iden y is based on.
Jackson (and today’s Democrats) tie political legitimacy to demographic iden y—race, class, gender, tribe, grievance category.
MAGA ties it to citizenship and shared national norms—border, sovereignty, economy, energy, inflation, schools, crime.

One is “you belong because of what you are.”
The other is “you belong because of what you believe.”

Iden y politics sorts people by biology and grievance.
MAGA sorts people by agenda and interests.

That’s the distinction. The internal enemy in iden y politics is the wrong kind of person.
The internal enemy in MAGA is the wrong set of policies.

One is tribal.
The other is political.

You have secret police that disappears US citizens.

You are the enemy within.

You are the wrong kind of person because of your tribal fascist policies.

I don't stand with Israel. Never have, never will.

if that's your test, you might be an antisemite too

I don't hate practicing Jews, Orthodox Jews, Hasidic Jews etc who are actually Jewish by faith and culture and not just by legacy, wealth and surname. Most of the former were NOT in favor of building a Jewish super-state nation of Israel in the 1940s. They sought to maintain a decentralized, peaceful guerrilla coalition of Jewish circles worldwide and were focused on their faith and not about globalism or world domination.

I'm not antisemitic per se. If I were in Hitler's shoes in the 1930s/40s, I wouldn't have gassed and killed Jews indiscriminately. I would have imposed an immediate, graduated one-time wealth tax up to 95% (this might even be too soft, considering just how much money and assets the Jewish minority had stockpiled and scammed and hoarded over the generations) simply to confiscate and redistribute over-bloated legacy wealth, payable immediately, or else they would go to prison and have their assets fully seized by the Reich government anyway.

I hate Zionists, those who want a new world order leftist, world domination, population control, fundamentally faux-capitalist but absolute government power dystopian hole, typically the very elite rich legacy Jews who are actually more likely atheist/agnostic and money and power is their real religion. Think Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Pritzkers and Soros, Schwabs, AIPAC- and Israel-backed big elitist asset manager companies like Blackrock, Blackstone, Vanguard, StateStreet etc, Israel- backed defense contractor companies like Lockheed, Raytheon etc, and then their AIPAC-funded cronies in US political office like the Schumer's and Schiff's and Spanberger's and Josh Shapiro's who are exclusively Democrats, that foster a one world order society with AI squeezing down the middle class. I can't name one single conservative/Republican legacy-Jewish governor, senator, congressman/woman, or otherwise bureaucrat? Closest thing to it was Zeldin in NY in 2022 and even he was more of a Ben Shapiro esque practicing Jew type.

That's a long way around to explain your levels of racism

I already demonstrated that it's not about race or color or religion for me, it's about being anti-extreme wealth, anti-greed, and anti-one world order.

[Winehole23]

Dividing Jews into good Jews and bad Jews is antisemitism

When governments do it it usually leads to pogroms

Is it antisemitic to hate Bill Gates too? Who has like zero jewish blood.

That's really all you had to say.

But you didn't.

And if that was really your stance, you'd be anti- Trump.

[Yonivore]

wrong

To protect federal assets and U. S. Customs officers. They weren't "sicced" on you.

[Yonivore]

I've never heard of Wesley Hunt

Are you the racism police now?

It would be unusual for anyone who claims to be politically aware - particularly with Texas politics - to not know who is Wesley Hunt. But, I'm not shocked over your ignorance.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I don't love Trump, I think he's a megalomaniac, petty, filled with self pride and he's obviously eccentric and narcissistic and miscalculates a lot, and many of his decisions and the way he executes certain actions, regardless of whether the base approves of them or not, are quite poor. Trump is, in a lot of ways, 'GOPritzker'. I actually dislike Vance far more though, he is very much a sleeper globalist cell candidate who has led a thinly veiled Ivy League life of counterculture, and ergo I might be willing to vote Newsom over Vance in a couple of cir stances. Hoping for DeSantis/Youngkin/Rubio.

I just think that the high-wealth leftist old-wealth that has been leveraging Citizens United v FEC (a rare mistake by Alito and Thomas tbh) to spend money on the NWO one world order dystopianistic, anti-tradition, pro-AI, anti-nuclear family, anti-humanist, globalist, feminazist, counterculture and subversionist agenda is a far, far worse evil, and that evil has been fighting against him more often than not (hence the rigged, not necessarily "stolen" but rigged 2020 election a-la 2002 Kings vs Lakers, from Soros bucks to Zuckerbucks to everything in between) and the few rich folk who do want to do right by society like Elon Musk.

I don't like just how pro-Israel Trump 2.0 has been so far and been so open to capitulating into Netanyahu et al's war-hawkish demands in 2025, tbh, but he still has time to make up for it, tick tock. However the Epstein files issue is looming and most likely damning, not just for Trump but for the entire establishment on both sides as well as AIPAC, its full and accurate release is, similarly to the Warren court files, a threat to the entire (evil) current system in place, tbh. AIPAC and Israel and the global elite zionists certainly have a lot on Trump's head re: Epstein, and it's dangerous how much we've capitulated to them for it to come to that. There's a good chance there's no damning stuff about Trump but more that he'd get whacked if he released it.

It would be unusual for anyone who claims to be politically aware - particularly with Texas politics - to not know who is Wesley Hunt. But, I'm not shocked over your ignorance.

I like Wesley Hunt, but still want Paxton to win. It's going to be a May runoff no matter what, so hopefully Cornyn is the odd man out. Anyone but Cornyn in March.

you said they weren't deployed

you were wrong

I don't claim to be politically aware

1st term congressman from Houston, sounds like a long-shot for senator.

What has he done so far that might tend to propel him to higher office?

[SnakeBoy]

I don't claim to be politically aware

[Winehole23]

so why do y'all like Wesley Hunt for US Senator, besides the fact that he isn't John Cornyn?

[Yonivore]

I don't claim to be politically aware

No .

Not being John Cornyn is a good start for both him and Paxton. I just think I'm more ideologically aligned with Hunt than I am with Paxton.

And I'm more aligned with Paxton, but c'est la vie. We just have to make the runoff Paxton vs. Hunt.

"I like him" is an answer, but it sidesteps the specific information requested, for some reason
