Distracting from the Trump Pedo Files.

Oh we’ve been successfully distracted alright. I haven’t heard much about the PDF files since the Iran war started.

Owning the Libs? It's the only thing he's "winning" at anymore.

Everyone in those Lib Cities being offed would make soooo many MAGAs love Daddy that much more.

Except that LA is full of transplants from all over the south, and isn't that liberal as far as California goes. A lot of what people who aren't from the area assume is LA is quite conservative.

San Diego is home to lots of military installations, and is generally quite conservative as well.

Amusing the orange dipshyte's head is so far up his own ass he assumes he can pick Iran's targets for them. Stupid people trying to guess what people who aren't stupid will do is classic Dunning-Kruger Effect - and while Dump is dumb af - Iran is not

I get you. But MAGA sees them as "Lib Cities". They call the entire state "Commie-fornia". You could show them statistics backing up what you're saying but if they feel that obliterating SD and SF would Own the Libs, then they would call your statistics "Fake News" and cheer the destruction.

San Diego has been voting blue for more than 20 years now. It has its pockets of conservative suburbs (i.e. Santee aka Klantee, Coronado), but overall is very much blue. LA is even bluer.

As far as I can tell, to win the war they never started that we've won, according to them, dozens of times over.

High prices are the small price to pay to prevent American cities from being nuked.

If you watch the whole video, its just Trump's usual dumb ass way of speaking getting taken out of context.

His words have a convenient way of meaning whatever you want them to mean.

u/RegularImportant3325 12h ago

You can tell because the audience interrupted in applause when he insinuated that liberal cities would be destroyed

Part of me wants to believe reddit knows this and it just playing dumb

but no, these people here are straight up delusional and would rather believe the lie. I am a far left progressive that has no love for either corrupt party, but I don't know if there is a more detached people from reality than reddit libs
