As a Democrat I am feeling increasingly alienated from my party. When did Dems become so pro radical Islam, is it really so bad to fight back against extremism? Is the world really worse off with the oppressive Supreme Leader of Iran eliminated?

Welcome OP. It’s incredibly freeing to think for yourself and form your own opinions instead of just falling in line with the toxic groupthink the party has turned into. I was a Democrat my entire life, but at this point the party feels completely unrecognizable.

Hell yes OP! There are about 60 other countries with oppressive authoritarian regimes. Which one shall we bomb next? Unfortunately we may need to reinstate the draft if we want to be efficient in bringing freedom to all of them - but I’m sure you’ll be first in line to sign up for our new global fight against extremism!

My first thought as well lol

Trump ran literally on NOT doing the exact thing he just did. Everything he just did, and has been doing, is the stuff he’d fearmongered Harris would do.

Excuse us while we call him out on it, and for getting Americans killed in the process, with more deaths likely to come.

It makes no difference what he ran on. It makes no difference what he does. This country elected him after Jan 6th. Tells you everything you need to know about the collective American psyche. He will stay on. Somehow, some way. Either through canceling elections in 2028 or redoing the constitution. This man is here to stay.

I’m not sure OP is a democrat given the post tone and framing.

The IRGC will likely maintain control after the dust settles, so I'm not convinced this will have a meaningful impact on combatting extremism. Also, there's this whole thing where more people can be radicalized when their family and friends are killed.

OP, that's a very naive POV. How do you effect regime change without boots on the ground? Who will take over? The mullahs were in power for almost 50 years; there's no organized resistance. The most powerful people in the country right now are the military leaders. Do you think they're just gonna throw down their arms knowing that we don't want to have boots on the ground? There's literally no plan for the future. Nobody in our government is thinking this through. It's like we've learned nothing at all

Democrats continually choose to support anything opposite of Trump because they hate him so much, they are not making sense. Illegals over US citizens, Terrorist over those attacked by them, perversion over common sense on sexuality. I really don't see why they do this other than just picking the opposite side of Trump. I don't agree with every little thing Trump does but on the most part he is trying to make things better for the American people. Is he an angel, NO. But he is way better than the walking dead puppet that was there before.

I voted for Harris but I doubt she would have made life better for regular people. American crony capitalism will never make life better for regular people, regardless of party. They’re all paid puppets.

Christianity is the other side of the same coin as Islam. Judaism is the one monotheistic religion that doesn’t shove it’s beliefs down other people’s throats and start wars. If I had to choose I’d live in Tel Aviv over Riyadh or Tehran or even Dubai. As a Democrat I don’t feel like I need to be pro Islam but I see where the party is going and it’s disconcerting. Oh and btw I’m not Jewish either. I’m agnostic.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

President Donald Trump really wanted a made-for-TV moment when he left the hospital. While he was at Walter Reed getting treated for COVID-19, the president pushed the idea of looking weak and frail when he left the hospital only to rip open his button-down shirt and reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath, according to the New York Times.
