      Or, and hear me out, need to think about politicians who praised murderous and totalitarianism regimes until rather late in life.

          If you can't see the difference between a president doing what he might have to in complex foreign relations and what a state politician who goes on his honeymoon to the USSR then it is hard to take you seriously.

          So it's okay to praise a totalitarian dictatorship when it has consequences, but tourism is bad? (And, for the record, Sanders went during Gorbachev's reign, a thaw where Gorbachev was highly praised by Reagan and Thatcher).
