Randahl FinkWhen politicians do the exact opposite of what they promised in the election campaign, you know creative explanations are coming.
Here is what Republicans came up with — and yes, this is real:
TC Won't Give In To LiesYeah, I don't think you're reading that correctly.
From the #MAGA lens, Trump is "ending" it by killing #Iran 's leaders. It's the same worldview as Reagan ending the USSR thru escalation.
Of course, there is always the "day after" problem. In Venezuela, they had already arranged a deal with the VP. In Iran, we will see if Trump and Netanyahu have a faction lined up to rule.
Konosocio@TCatInReality @randahl this is more the old Chile approach, source of many a fascist dictatorhip by virtue of the US government, but apparently being right wing means not to learn anything from history but insisting of going with your gut.
Fascists absolutely misunderstand and misrepresent history. All part of their gas lighting some majestic past to justify horrific actions to achieve a majestic future.

#MAGA forgot #Reagan did a deal with #Iran to sink #Carter's re-election. Also, #Trump got reelected because Oct7 attacks on #Israel affected #US elections in 2024. #Netanyahu helped.
Feels like the Iran attack was Trump's thankyou to Israel

That #ingrate Netanyahu snubbed then-incumbent #Biden was obvious a year before #US #Election2024.
Then he snubbed #KamalaHarris after their one-on-one meeting in Washington, paving way for Trump

“Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections” Trump said on #TruthSocial.
What he didn't say is that #Netanyahu rebuffed both #Biden and #KamalaHarris on #ceasefire for months, waiting for Trump to win.
When Trump said that #Harris will start a new war in the #MiddleEast, remember that all accusations are confessions, and he made that one in 2024.

⬆️ #Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, & successfully executed #electionInterference in US history… #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia derailing #ArabIsraeliNormalization just 7 months prior was starting point. #Trump reelection was the result.
On his last full day as President of #US, #Biden said: "After so much pain, destruction, and loss of life, TODAY the guns in #Gaza have gone silent."
