    How do y’all talk to libs about how the media is portraying Trump as subservient to Putin?

    Ask them why they love war so much. Whatever the ulterior motive, finally an American administration is trying to make peace with Russia and this is what you are most upset about?

    And since i live in Europe and have to deal with our own uniquely European brand of deranged, delusional liberals, i usually add: i wish our own politicians were as interested in peace rather than war. More money for war means less money for your parents’ pensions and your children’s schools.

    Of course we as communists understand the more complex geopolitics at play here. We don’t believe that Trump is just doing this because he’s some kind of do-gooder peacenik. But there’s no need to get into the weeds and start discussing imperial strategy when talking to liberals. They only comprehend the most simplistic of narratives and so you have to keep your responses extremely simple and dumbed down. Nuance is a no-no.

    Peace good, war bad. I don’t care about Putin or Trump, i care about stopping the dying. Why do you want people to keep dying? That is all you need to say to them.
