He’s not wrong. And the Dems agree with him. Trump is relatively isolationist. One of the Dem attacks against him was that Trump would pull out of Ukraine for sure, which is actually a popular position among the vast majority of the electorate. If you’re out of touch because you only tune into what political elites want, then of course you would think that’s a bad thing to say about him.
Trump also seems poised to keep his aggression towards China focused on tariffs. While that’s not good either, Dems also supported some steep tariffs against green tech imports, and an economic war is preferable to the average voter than the hot war the Biden admin was stoking with China.
Trump will definitely be more active militarily against the population here at home. He previously had the military abducting Portland protestors in unmarked vans. But I’d rather prepare to fight here at home than support more active foreign militarism to maintain my own comfort.
You're fully delusional.
How so? What did I write that’s not true?
I’d rather prepare to fight here at home
What? You WANT Americans abducted by the military? There's a reason that the police and the military are two different groups.
Of course I don’t want it. But I’d rather fight here than export the fight to kill poor people overseas. At least we’re armed to fight back.
You'd rather the military fight Americans than fight non-Americans overseas? What in the hell? You want Americans dead?
I want Americans to see up close what we’ve been putting everyone else through, and to put an end to it.
Not only are we better armed, but they also require our support to fund the military. We can attack them from both angles like no one else can.
I hope you're joking. That's a pro-suffering evil attitude.
Walk me through your logic on that. Because it sounds like nonsense.
You are saying you deliberately want to cause harm to people so they'll learn their lesson. You are acknowledging how awful of a thing it would be to unleash the military on their own people. Yet you still suggest that as a good idea. That's a dictatorship. You're rooting for dictatorship. You're saying it's okay that they suffer, because in your mind they deserve it.
Didn’t say any of that at all. That’s all from your imagination.
Then correct me, or I'll keep thinking that's what you meant.
