It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power.

I was a toddler when he was carpet bombing Cambodia, never knew him as anything but “an important person” that was sometimes on the TV. Only learned of his crimes in the past decade.

How did an in-your-face war criminal retain such influence for so long?

    Hilary Clinton praised him as a role model to her and she won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election 🤢

    Edit: y’all better not be dumb enough to think this comment is somehow an endorsement of Trump

      I held my nose and voted for Hillary Clinton because if I’ve got to choose between a neoliberal and a neo-Nazi, I’m going to pick the neoliberal knowing all the while that the lesser evil is still evil. I voted for Biden for the same reason. I’m a single-issue voter, and my single issue is that the Republican party is irredeemably infested with fundies, fascists, and white supremacists. All Republicans are Nazis, and all Nazis must die.
