      1. On Labor Day Trump channelled his inner Gandhi and denounced "top people in the Pentagon" who "want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else, stay happy.”

      2. On Facebook the Trump campaign has put out ads appropriating 1960s anti-war iconography, arguing "Make Peace Not War."pic.twitter.com/7t4OoMHN0X

      3. Trump styling himself as a peacenik is ridiculous: he's ramped up military attacks on civilians and engaged in dangerous games of chicken with rival powers like Iran, North Korea & China. But it's not enough to say Trump is a hypocrite & fraud without considering his audience

      4. Trump's use of anti-war rhetoric speaks to the fact that there is a broad swath of the USA population that is in fact tired of the Forever Wars, an audience that includes many Republicans as well as marginal swing voters.

      5. Trump is a con-man, but con-men often flourish when they can offer services or products that more reputable merchants won't provide. Trump has gotten some milage out of his ridiculous anti-war claims due to establishment ceding of ground. More here: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-fake-anti-war/ …

          This is the key. On substance its ridiculous, but rhetorically, many Americans will say "sure, he's against forever war" and never listen or read further, where they would quickly see he is a complete liar.

          I noted this dynamic in 2015. What should be stressed, the piece only makes a perfunctory mention of it, is that Obama's fake antiwar stance mirrored what Trump is doing, tho very different in style and rhetoric. @votepact solves this and a myriad of other problems.

          One speech or statement by Biden would do a lot quiet the "peace candidate" shit but it's a statement he is unwilling to make, because hey, guess who all those defense contractors and NOVA work for?

          I want to vote for a president who didn’t vote for the Iraq War but three out of three eligible Democratic nominees all voted for it. Their only nominee who didn’t was the only one who won though.

          It’s just American isolationism which has played out in various and mainstream forms for 200+ years.

          As Joe doubles down on his unpopular aggressive stances towards China and VZA, Trump campaign pivots to the popular anti-war position. I'd say the right is juat better at politics if it wasn't so apparent the Dems are trying to lose

          Amplifying Trump's con makes you a mark. Not mentioning Trump's warmongering everywhere implicates you in the misinformation.
