      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

          It’s a lot more cathartic to be anti-something, especially when it means you’ll get lots of accolades from important people. People have been trained to assume Trump=bad because it gets screamed at them round the clock. He’s easy to dunk on, and doing so gets you cred.

          Voted for him in 2008, too busy working against proposition 8 in California to actually "campaign" for him besides I was in California so trying to protect gay marriage was way more important. Did not vote for him in 2012, saw he was a fraud by then after the financial meltdown.

          I was just accused of being a bot (by a total f***ing idiot btw) because I retweeted something you said. Sounds like you're just intelligent enough to be disillusioned instead of one of those mindless, virtue signaling, TV watching pawns

          So when he drops nukes we can all take a victory lap cuz we knew he was crazy & was openly promoting the idea during his election. Anyone who believes Dump has a plan or morals or a coherent thought in his head is delusional. I give him 48 hrs to do something disastrous again.
