      No one claimed Trump was a peacenik (or at least, no one of serious repute claimed that). What some of us did claim was that Trump’s predilections made it likely he’d roll back the US Empire, at least around the margins. And wouldn’t you know it...

      Just want to point out for posterity that making this observation (with the caveat that Trump was never some anti-war purist, and has also dropped a large quantity of bombs in pre-existing warzones) provoked several years of relentless trolling from elements of the Online Left

          Furthermore, making these observations never necessitated "supporting Trump," despite constant allegations of such. It's descriptive, not prescriptive. And either way, you can support discrete initiatives without supporting the whole. That's always been the case.

          I supported some things Obama did (declining to send lethal arms to Ukraine) and opposed others (launching illegal war in Syria) but for some reason this never brought forth allegations of being a wholesale "Obama supporter." Although I did vote and campaign for him in 2008

          I appreciate your commentary. It feels like Reagan in a sense, who was no peacenik either, who didn't go to war with Lebanon, Libya, or Iran, and who at the time seemed to want to make peace with Russia.

          An anti-war purist would be staying in Syria and withdraw from Yemen and Afghanistan. So that's of course not what Trump is.

          Pretty sure an anti-war purist would be withdrawing to within US borders. Y'know like normal countries that aren't empires.

          As much shit that the left is giving Trup for pulling out of Syria, and what people say about isis may be true. At the same time we have been at war for nearly 18 years. We have been trying to rebuild the middle east and their military for over a decade. It's time to leave.

          It's actually kind of refreshing to watch the liberal fascists exhibit the same hate for Trump that the alt right gave to Obama for 8 years, except liberals don't have to restrain themselves a little bit like the alt right conservatives did with Obama.

          We voted for detente with Russia! Until the servers of the @DNC are proven, in a court of law, to have been hacked by the Russians, I still want a low temperature and discussions with the Russians. America must get along with the nuclear super power of the world.
