    Also, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    Never forget that even though we knew that Stalin was a vicious mass murderer of his own people, we allied with him to defeat Hitler, and it is highly unlikely that we could have done it without out them, or at least it would have taken us far longer, and cost many more lives.

    We turned on each other the moment the war was over, but at least we could agree to put aside our differences for the time being.

    It is likely that when it comes time to finally put down the rabid dog named MAGA once and for all, it is going to require allying with the Traditional GOP. I despise them with everything I have, and will want accountability when this is over, but if they are willing to assist us in purging MAGA from society, we are going to have to hold our noses and accept their help.

      Personally, I think Free America and the Allies would be teaming up with the Mexican Cartels. If anyone can terrorize the Trump Regime, it would be them. IMO, it wouldn’t be surprising if Mexico and the Allies promise to give away Texas to the Cartels as a spoil of war.

              Nah, your version implies that there was ever a traditional GOP that was meaningfully different from MAGA

                No, my version is simply the correct one.

                Then again, you sound like a tankie so you’d probably favor a Stalin-esque communist government where the government disappears people on a whim like they had in the Soviet Union.

                With that in mind, I’m surprised you don’t agree with Trump’s policy of sending dissidents to El Salvadorian gulags. Tankies love making dissidents disappear, after all.

                  Liberals not descend into lazy insults and strawmen challenge (impossible).

                  Good to now the definition of tankie has continued to expand that it now includes “people to the left of George Bush”

                    LMAO I don’t trust any “challenge” offered to me by some godless pinko commie.

                    Also, I’m not a liberal, I’m a libertarian. Your kind pretty much just want me either dead or gulag’d.

                    LOL again: I don’t trust any “challenge” offered to me by some godless pinko commie.

                    And no, “tankie” doesn’t mean “anyone to the left of Bush”. It means commies who think violence is a solution. That’s why they call them “tankies” - Because they’re the folks who think bringing in tanks and infantry to “bring about the revolution” is a good idea. Disgusting people, really.
