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...

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

If one is authentic it seems obvious that's the case. The two party "duo-poly" seems to be the enemy of authenticity. Individual representatives vote not their conscience nor the views of their constituency but rather what the party, in a sort of Mafia like fashion, demands.

Absolutely. Establishment Democrats are responsible for Trump in more than one way, which they compansate for with Russiagate, constant attacks on the left and refusal to contemplate individual Trump's policies' consequences, hysterically accusing him of uniquely evil intentions.

But you're having the same opinion as Trump and the far-right on this. And BTW withdrawal just creates destabilization and more war.

If I could articulate one reason why being followed by you would be such an encouragement and consolation it would be our common commitment to this once evident truth, an apparent rarity in our day. Thanks for reminding us!pic.twitter.com/H9SAnllCGP

Some are trying to silence you. That's an intimidation tactic. I was called a "racist" multiple times for being critical of Obama's policies- Libya or Syria for example. I voted for Obama because he campaigned on an anti-interventionist message.

I never could understand why liberals have this incessant need to publish continuous mea culpas simply for agreeing with President Trump on any particular subject. As President Trump would say, a simple kiss my ass will suffice.

because one of the tools deployed against Trump is lockstep conformity w/in the commentariat your radical approach of reporting facts makes you objectively pro-Trump

Absolutely right. I support Trump on foreign policy, immigration,trade and making even Allies accountable. I am very opposed on health care, taxes, regulation and climate. Regardless, I am landless a Trumpster.
