"MAGA-like thinking"
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
MAGA Republicans would simply like an audit of where all the tens of billions of dollars are going (Ukrainian teachers' salaries?). Biden said he'd veto any aid package to Israel that didn't also include a few billion more for Ukraine. Remember the Trump administration when we weren't in a losing proxy war with Russia? Good times.
Canada's Trudeau Blames 'Right-Wing, American MAGA' for Vote Against Ukraine
"I've actually boasted . . . that it's not a political debate in Canada, all parties in Canada stand with Ukraine," Trudeau said at a press conference Friday. "So it is particularly troubling to see — even though we are seeing a rise of right-wing rhetoric in the United States with MAGA conservatives, across Europe, in certain corners of right-wing politicians and parties — starting to pull their support for Ukraine. Starting to parrot Russian disinformation and misinformation and propaganda."
For their part, the Conservatives said they still supported Ukraine, but the prime minister snuck a carbon tax into the new deal and every single Conservative member in parliament voted against it.
Trudeau said that was "an absurd excuse."
"The real story is the rise of a right-wing, American MAGA-influenced thinking that has made Canadian Conservatives — who used to be among the strongest defenders of Ukraine, I'll admit it — turn their backs on something Ukraine needs in its hour of need," Trudeau said.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre seemed a little perplexed.
"We voted against Justin Trudeau forcing a carbon tax into that pre-existing agreement. Conservatives understand how devastating the carbon tax has been for Canadians," Poilievre said. "It's caused two million people to go to a food bank every single month, seven million Canadians not eating enough to stay healthy."
"I really think it speaks to how pathologically obsessed Trudeau is with the carbon tax that, while the knife is at the throat of Ukrainians, he would use that to impose his carbon tax ideology on those poor people," Poilievre said, according to CBC News.
