The American press has just recounted what former President Jimmy Carter said to Donald Trump during his recent interview about China.

“You’re worried that China is getting ahead of us, and I agree with you. But do you know why China is getting ahead of us? I normalized diplomatic relations with Beijing in 1979. Since then, do you know how many times China has gone to war with anyone? Not once, even though we’re constantly at war.

The United States is the most warlike nation in the history of the world because it wants to impose states that respond to our government and American values ​​throughout the West, and to control companies that own energy resources in other countries.” China, for its part, invests its resources in projects such as railways, infrastructure, intercontinental and transoceanic bullet trains, 6G technology, robotic intelligence, universities, hospitals, ports, buildings, and high-speed trains instead of using them for military spending.


“How many kilometers of high-speed trains do we have in this country?

We wasted $300 billion in military spending to subjugate countries that sought to escape our hegemony.

China hasn’t wasted a penny on war, and that’s why it surpasses us in almost every area. And if we had spent $300 billion to install infrastructure, robots, and public health in the United States, we would have high-speed transoceanic bullet trains.” We would have bridges that don’t collapse, free healthcare for Americans, thousands of Americans who wouldn’t be infected with COVID-19 more than any other country in the world.

We would have roads that hold up properly. Our education system would be as good as South Korea’s or Shanghai’s.“ - Jimmy Carter.

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They’re acting like they’re still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn’t deranged.

  • A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.
  • Don’t walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I’m serious, go limp, be dead weight.
  • Putin’s Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant “LIE” in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can’t read above a 3rd grade level.
  • Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.
  • If you’re gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you’re actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.
  • Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. “DOESN’T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?” or “PUPPET PRESIDENT” or “EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN’T WRITE” or “THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES” or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.
  • Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you’re trying.
  • Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you’re there!

How hard is this? There’s probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

DO SOMETHING!

Nazi propaganda and Trump propaganda are the same thing. Republicans are too busy licking boots to say anything.

^^^^ this… if you are willing to accept persecution against any minority, all you need to say is that you are willing to accept persecution.

It doesn’t matter who it’s against.
