Congratulations not to be a citizen of one of the many countries that have been under the barrel of Democratic forign policy. But apparently it's fine to do it to non-white countries

Don't remember the last time the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse and deporting them to war zones like South Sudan or Libya despite those people having zero ties to those countries.

This reeks of fucking shitpost right-wing propaganda.

Edit: here come all the "but the US/CIA did all this fucked up stuff to other countries under Dems, too!"

JFC, the current "president" who is GOP literally yells about wanting to deport/arrest political opponents, censor TV personalities (e.g. Colbert, Fallon, etc), openly calls to suppress political opposition in voting, openly supports ignoring the courts when they interfere with his blatantly unconstitutional actions, etc etc .

Yes, the Dems aren't fucking innocent, but to pretend they're the same as a party that's openly trying to "take back the Nazi word" is fucking insane.

The fact that there are so many dislikes proves how propagandized the average American is. "How dare you call both sides the same" Well, they ojectively are pretty much the same with few exceptions.

Especially for non-Usian people, doubly especially for those on the working end of US "diplomacy" - bombs, coups and sanctions come regardless of which US administration, there is literally no difference whatsoever.

And that stuff about abortion shouldn't even be there after they didn't do anything for it.
