    I wonder how the Repubs I used to hear praise Trump for being “anti war” feel now that he’s shown his whole ass

      Difficult to know how they feel deep inside, but on the surface: dig their heels down even deeper. Claim they were for this all along. Attribute prophetic knowledge and foresight to dear leader. Necessity, not ideology. Etc.

      edit: and, worst of all, apparently it makes america great again to bomb other countries.

        Yeah, I can’t wait for my mom to figure out how to spin this one. She’s already hard on the “well we’re not AT WAR, so he’s still following his campaign promises” train.

            Hell even Ron Paul would’ve been a marked improvement because as crazy as that dude was, he stood on business with the anti war thing

              Ron Paul is a Confederate-nostalgic racist crackpot idiot. His phony libertarianism is even worse than the real thing, and the real thing is an economically illiterate cultish bag of simplistic bullshit.

                Yeah unfortunately there really are no heroes in this story, I just acknowledged that being principled on being anti-war is better than whatever Trump is doing tbh
