u/QbertsRube 9d ago
It popped up during Operation Desert Storm in the 90s. The phrase is always accompanied by the American flag. So it's a play on words--saying "these colors don't run" would usually mean the dye doesn't bleed, like when you're doing laundry, but in this scenario it means "these colors (red, white, and blue) don't flee". It got picked up and heavily used by ultra-nationalists just like that "Proud To Be An American" song.

The White House has authorized the Pentagon to use military force against Latin American drug cartels—but the sweeping directive also appears to violate the sovereignty of America’s southern neighbor.
Sources working in or with the Trump administration told Rolling Stone Thursday that the president is serious about attacking Mexico unless the nation gives Donald Trump “what he wants.” U.S. government officials just had one stipulation: Don’t refer to the intimidation campaign as an “invasion.”
“It’s not a negotiating tactic,” a senior administration official told the magazine. “It’s not Art of the Deal. The president has been clear that a strike … is coming unless we see some big, major changes.”
Trump and Republican leaders have long embraced the idea of invading Mexico, citing rising fentanyl rates and drug trafficking as sound reasons to put American boots on the ground. In January, Trump told reporters that the possibility of sending U.S. special ops across the border “could happen.”
It's going to be announced as a glorious three day special operation, isn't it?

But . . . Even a fast shock and awe attack on the cartels would do little to stop them. They will hide and re-emerge later. Hell, it might even force some of them to combine forces.

We got angry about Iraq and destroyed the Republican party in 2006 for it. That was 5 years after 9/11 under a president that had a 90% approval rating at one point.

Maga - Trump won't get us involved in any wars. He's a peacetime president that will end wars
Maga - fentanyl is way down and border crossings all because of trump
Maga - we need to invade Mexico with troops so their illegals and drugs don't enter the US

He will do anything to distract from these Epstein files… it must be really bad if he is willing to start a war to hide it

If America goes into Mexico, Canada, Panama or Greenland in force, I want to see full on riots shutting the country down.
Otherwise, Americans will prove themselves to be no better than Russians, and their neighbours will have to assume they are hostile.

Threats did not work with Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, China, India, Russia or even Palestine among others. There has to be a better way.
Typo corrected.

Maga before the elections: "We're tired of wars and we want out government to stop sending foreign countries money. Use them for your own people instead😤"
Maga now: "Yes, please attack and invade other countries, oh glorious cult leader🤓"

Donald would somehow manage to lose the entire southwest and Texas to Mexico of he tried this.
I'm pretty sure the guy can't do anything without fucking it up.

Why won't this absolute tyrant do anything to help his country? He's attacking people he doesn't like. He's threatening people who dont like him, and disregarding laws and the constitution. He wants people to suffer for not conforming to what he thinks is the correct way of life. He is fully unpresidential and un-American. He is pals with dictators of other countries.
It's so frustrating that nothing is being done to stop him. He has too many high-ups in his pocket. He faces no consequences. Our justice system failed the entire country by delaying his sentencing to after the election, then dropping everything. Look at the mess we have now, and it's only 8 months in.
