I've never been more for Making America Great Again. It's needed now more than ever. I am America First. I am American First. I am MAGA™, and if I ever stop being MAGA™, it will because MAGA™ stopped holding America First policies.
I'm going to have to reconsider how much of a Trump supporter I am, though, based on what happens in the next week or so. Which is a shame, as he has been the greatest president in my lifetime. Low bar, but he's still the greatest.
Another sandwar would be a bridge too far, though. If this evil leads to that greater evil...not only will I be off the Trump Train, but it will be damn good timing, since the whole fucking train will be derailing in spectacular fashion.
The next couple weeks will go a long way towards deciding if he remains in a league of his own, or is just king of the trash heap.
That being said, if Trump continues to spend significant time, energy, and American resources on cucking for Israel, while extremely depressing, people still need to focus on extracting us much value as we can out of the rest of his presidency. If we could get a holy grail like ending birthright citizenship, then his terms won't have been wasted.
How many "well if he" are yall gonna give him? HE BOMBED A COUNTRY
He did that his previous term too, but America didn't get pulled into playing in the sandbox then either.
I would say the difference there is that our commitment there began under Obama and so it was a preexisting war that he had to finish up. This time he is the one starting shit. That's what makes this such a problem.
Trump bombed Syria his first term. Tell me again...what happened to Syria after that?
If it doesn't devolve into anything more than that, then it isn't functionally much different than a couple incidents during his first term. Just much more risky given the specific contexts, but if the risk doesnt bloom into anything particularly harmful then it's pretty much the same in the end.
Very worrying state of affairs but functionally speaking we are not past the point of no return for this becoming a debilitating and drawn out conflict.
Edit: To be clear, there is realistically some level of trust it will be hard for him to ever win back after this. Unless he directly goes against Israel's interests, people will rightly assess that he is partial to them or compromised by them in some way.
This might lead Iran to actually try to get a nuclear weapon. It might lead to Iran becoming a failed state, destbilizing the region even further, and sending 10 million 'refugees' to Europe... destroying the continent.
It's different from joining in the free for all melee that was Syria, already a failed state.
Every president does that...which is an abomination.
If you saw me spinning out last night, you'll know I absolutely, completely, and unequivocally condemn the bombing, and think it's evil.
But my concern has always been the sparking of a broader conflict...which sadly seems very, very likely at present.
But until we're in the next forever war, Trump can still at least stabilize from the evil he committed yesterday. It's not looking like he will, but it's possible.
Trump already bombed Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and I think Lebanon, Somalia, and the like. As well as others. He got away with those. This is evil, but not a complete dealbreaker unless full war kicks off.
"Bombing a country" is nothing new to Trump. Starting a new forever war would be, though. That's my concern, and that's why this bombing was especially evil.
As is tradition.
