We need to start a war with some foreign country

I haven't decided which one yet. Maybe we need a world war.

But hear me out: Our country was a pretty bad shape during the depression. FDR did what he could to make it less painful but it has been said that we didn't really pull out of it until we entered WWII. Lots of obvious reasons for that.

Thinking of a post yesterday about how we all hate the fact that we have to think about Trump every damned day and have for 7 years. The only way it might end is if we were in a damned war.

It will turn this peacenik into a war monger.

Of course, Trump will have to call for it cause we could bring the country together and not fight about face masks if he did. And he'd want to be on the wrong side so there are a couple of glitches to work out. . . stay tuned.

I think we need to declare war on those aliens (Martians?) that keep kidnapping people. An external threat is the only thing that will stop us shooting at each other.

I can't believe I'm reading this on a website for Democrats.

We can make up an imaginary provocation using alternative facts. For example, avenging the Bowling Green Massacre, or an imaginary foreign diplomat insulting TFG.
