I remember vividly having a heated discussion with a friend of mine, a good friend of mine over the "War Mongering Democrats"- the idea that: if Harris wins, the war machine will get turned up to eleven. I should message them now.

Let’s Be Honest

Our government has been—and probably will keep being—all over the place. It’s like a pendulum swinging wild on social issues, economic fixes, you name it. But there’s one thing they never waver on: their love for the war machine.

Doesn’t matter who’s in charge—Democrat, Republican, whatever—the military budget always goes up. We love bombing places so much, we’re running out of targets. I still remember Obama snagging a Nobel Peace Prize while the US was busy blowing the Middle East to bits. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story, right?

This is why I pushed back when my friends said Trump would be different. Different how? Where’s the incentive to de-escalate? To make the Pentagon pass a single audit? They keep “losing” billions, and nobody’s ever held accountable. Not one person. Funny how that works.

War Is the Perfect Shield

Maybe there’s a perk in it for them. Wartime’s the best time to dodge criticism—keeps a presidency safe from too many hard questions. Who knows? You and I aren’t allowed to know. That’d make things too democratic, too transparent, and we can’t have that, can we?

Bombs Are the New Diplomacy

So, since we’re all about “diplomacy” in global politics, I guess we’ll just keep bombing everyone to smithereens. Saw it in the manual—right next to the IKEA instructions for a bookshelf. Build it, break it, repeat.

Before someone thinks I’m defending Iran or picking sides—nope, I’ve got no dog in that fight. I just don’t see how another war makes America great. I figured greatness came from using our cash on our own people, not dropping it from planes. Guess I missed the memo.
