I’m Not Afraid to Say It

Have you all noticed it? Have you all noticed the concerted effort to silence any questioning of this failed Trump war? Because I have noticed it, and I know that you guys want answers, so we are going to continue to push.

We are not afraid to say the truth. Even if every neocon in America, every right wing TV anchor, and every single Trump sycophant who has the Trump sneakers and the watch doesn’t want us to ask these questions, we are going to double down on asking the very important questions. Here are ten that I have been thinking of over the past week:

1. If we have won this war as decisively as Donald Trump says, why can’t we reopen the Strait of Hormuz?

2. If we have won this war as decisively as Trump thinks, why can’t we get a single political concession out of Iran?

3. Can the Republicans even name a political concession we have gotten out of Iran?

4. Why didn’t we just negotiate with the Iranians at the very beginning of this war rather than starting it and just building another nuclear deal?

5. That reminds me: Why did Donald Trump tear up the JCPOA in the first place?

6. How can you say the world is now a safer place when Iran has more regional control, a way to extort money out of the world, and seems to be holding out?

7. Why are we just redefining terms like “regime change” in order to say that we’ve won this war?

8. How do we justify the $50 to $100 billion we’ve spent on this war thus far?

9. How does this help my generation, or in fact any generation at home in America?

10. How can you possibly claim that we have all the cards and Iran has none when Iran is the one that refuses to even come to the negotiation table?

These are ten questions that I came up with in quite literally a few minutes. I’ve been mulling over these questions and I have one very clear belief: The American people deserve to know the answers. This administration needs to answer these questions, but they can’t. None of them can answer. None of the mouthpieces on TV can answer. None of the right wing MAGA stooges in my Twitter replies can answer. And I know for a fact that none of the people around Donald Trump who were cheering on this war can answer them either.

So again, I’m not afraid to say it, and you shouldn’t be either. We still live in a free country. We still live in a democracy. We still live in a country that allows the freedom of the press. We will not let the right wing attacks silence us. We will not bend the knee. We will not obey in advance.

We will continue to ask these questions, and maybe, just maybe, we can gain enough narrative control and enough power in the midterms to reclaim our country. We’ve seen a taste of it this week. Our narrative on the Iran war broke through, and it broke through in a heavy, heavy way. We were able to talk about this narrative on Piers Morgan, on CNN, on MSNBC, and on the Adam Mockler Substack and YouTube feed.
