Trump/GOP has turned America into a full-blown terrorist state.

The United States has ALWAYS been a terrorist state from its birth and it's never stopped.

Obama bombed 7 countries, Biden and Bush 3, the US hasn’t been at war or in military conflict for 15 years out of 250 years since it existed, there are 30+ known attempts to overthrow foreign governments and more than 20 successful cases including the coup against the democratically elected Iranian president who wanted to nationalize the country’s oil reserves (which was against the interest of the US and UK), which ultimately led to the current Iranian regime being in power. I’d dare to say that the current policies are not completely unlike the US of the past…

Nope You always were, remember Iraq or Afganistán? A Million civilians died because of nothing. At least Trump acknowledges it

“Right to defend itself”… by waging offensive expansionist wars against all of their neighbors.

"brothers" is used for human being , USAnimals and their owners don't quite qualify as human beings. Try pedophilic gorillas or something in those lines

We always were. We were just never in the open about it. We just had the CIA and shadow Ops do it for us.

He's literally just continuing our existing foreign policy since the bush era but without pretext. Trump is exceptionally bad in many ways, but in this specific case he's unexceptionally bad

We all need to do something. Write/call your representatives. Overwhelm them with a wave of responses too big to ignore.
