      The Republicans are now fundamentally an opposition party. Their problem now is they control all three branches of government.

      Republicans are an opposition party in the sense that some (usually annoying) people are reflexively contrarian.

      The Republican approach to domestic policy is basically exactly the same as your approach to foreign policy. :-P

      You really don't have any principle other than that you're opposed to whatever the CIA wants.

      Your foreign policy is that whatever the American National Security and Foreign Policy Establishment wants is bad.

      Not really, no. I'm in favor of Iran nuclear deal, 2-state solution in Israel/Palestine, non-proliferation treaties, etc.

      OK, fine. But then again, I suppose there are a small number of areas where the Republicans aren't reflexively anti-liberal.

      I find this weird because there's a whole subset of Trump supporters who think I'm in the pocket of the Deep State. Which is it?

      The Trump supporters are wrong. Your foreign policy is reflexively anti-American.

      I critical of things America does that are self-destructive (i.e. Iraq War). That's pro-America, not anti-America.

          OK, what about your opposition to the American Revolution, for example?

          You've also implied you think Russians support for Trump was justified payback for American foreign policy.

          And you've explicitly said you want American influence to fall in the world. I could go on and on.
