    That’s the thing, no one actually voted for Trump to stop wars. They vote for him because he said he’d hurt the people they don’t like, that’s it. Anything else is either just an attack on the opponents like the whole Kamala war thing or just a thinly veiled distraction from their hatred.

      Yep. For a small example, chuds are absolutely giddy about the end of pennies. If it happened while a Democrat was in office, they’d be bemoning every aspect of it.

      US politics is mostly about being contrarian to whomever you feel is doing freedom wrong.
