Just like with conservatives, there's varying views on foreign policy among progressives. I actually read and listen to progressives, and many agree with Trump's instinct to lessen America's footprint militarily around the world. They'd also take issue with Trump gutting the State Department, insulting our allies, praising our enemies, supplying the Saudi's bombs for the Yemen war, taking a hostile stance against Iran, etc.

Clear difference in my eyes between keeping forces in countries like Germany and South Korea, versus starting a war in Iraq or intervening in Libya.

Also, Mattis and McCain don't like Trump's foreign policy instincts, sure. But you're just using that as an excuse to not grapple with their legitimate criticisms of Trump on other issues. It's a constant refrain among Trumpists... to boil down good-faith criticisms by people into bad-faith ones based on policy disagreements.

It's extraordinary the number of former senior Trump officials who have spoken out against him. I don't know how Trumpland can look at this and not do some self-reflection.

Then again, moments like these show us why it's called a cult. People who Trump appointed and praised for years immediately lose any and all credibility the second they criticize him.

It would help if your criticisms weren't laced with condescension.

he's also worshipping warmongering swamp demons, most of which who are neo-cons who made their political careers by blowing up brown women and children, the thought of which is about the only thing that can get his low-T juices flowing.

Yea, we should actually be bombing the rice balls.

I noticed you've been absent from PaRD for the last 4-5 days. Protesting?
