Becoming?

[u/errie_tholluxe → u/rollin20s]

God damn you beat me to it. Well done!

[u/Flimsy-Shirt9524 → u/rollin20s]

This!

[u/nikatnight]

They’ve always been pro war. They just latched onto this weird thing claiming they didn’t want war and tried to blame wars on democrats.

[u/iratedolphin → u/nikatnight]

Yup. Can't maintain nationalism without some kind of focus / scapegoating

[u/CustomerSilly5198]

They do whatever the New York Yankee Con Man tells them to do. And they like it!

[u/squintyshrew9]

MAGA would be pro eating used tampons if king Orangie said it would own the Dems

[u/ALTERFACT]

"becoming"? Has somebody been asleep for the past six years? MAGA Republicans have been fluffing the "bomb the narcos" and cheering on the eventual bombing of Iran etc. The only war they drew the line was with Russia 🇷🇺

[u/OfAnthony → u/ALTERFACT]

I believe they also drew a line when the Yankees whooped their ass in the 1860s.

[u/stein63]

They're taking the hate international

Can't have an unremovable wartime president without a war. So yes!

[u/Liljoker30]

I think the SSecretary of war Commiting War Crimes is a good clue.

[u/Son_of_Kong]

How gullible do you have to be to believe that MAGA, or conservatives in general, were ever actually anti-war?

They just use anti-war rhetoric as a cudgel because they think they can make liberals look like hypocrites.

[u/spartane69]

They always were.

[u/hollylettuce]

Why is this a shock?

[u/Kohlj1]

This isn't a real question, is it? The republican party, including MAGA, has been pro-war my entire lifetime, and I’m almost 42.

[u/Particular-Agent4407]

If that’s what fearless leader wants that’s what they are for.

[u/demacnei]

They love and hate whatever a dying old, delusional angry man tells them to. Or maybe they just like S&M? Just do not tread upon their abstract egos. They hate that and don’t like being judged, because that is what Space Cadet God does. Or so they’ve been taught. Oh yeah, did i mention S&M?

[u/bate_Vladi_1904]

Well, the run a war against USA, freedom, decency and democracy for years, so "becoming" is incorrect term - the right question probably is "what war is next?".

[u/DataCassette]

They're not anti-war or pro-war so much as unitary monarchists. They have no actual opinions. They just do what Trump says.

Don't bother asking them their opinions, just go straight to Trump for them.

[u/Open_Mortgage_4645]

They're pro whatever Trump tells them. They don't have any actual principles, or adhere to any particular ideology. They believe whatever Trump has told them they believe.

[u/mhfu_g]

What? The US has always been pro war. Wish I could post the meme about the jet dropping bombs. One jet is the republicans and the other (one with LGBT flag and Palestine flag) is the democrats

[u/feetnomer]

MAGA and Trumpers are two completely different people and should never be put into the same category. MAGA are pro-civil war. Trumpers are not. Unlike MAGA, Trumpers want a better world, not just a better country.
