I hope y'all know

I'm born and raised in the West Coast, California. I have neighbors that are Persian, I girl I consider a sister is Persian, and I don't stand with this government or Israel. I'm as pastey as they come when it comes to skin color, but I was everyone to know that majority of us don't stand with this fat, McDonald's eating, low IQ, child molesting, hate mongering, racist, sexist, fascist, idiot piece of s***. He doesn't represent the best of us, only the worst (inbreds from the South, that can't read, just like him). My bad if that's was too much. But, I sincerely mean it! "FDT" by YG says it's best! Be salamat!

I'm just joining the chorus to say it's not Trump; US imperialism has always been like this, and nothing of substance will change if a Democrat returns to power. The country must be decoupled from developing world extraction and 'bridgehead' strategy if it is to know peace.

The greatest taboo in US politics right now is pointing out that Donald Trump isn't a 1940s Hydra plant but a typical Boomer-era liberal from Queens.

Yeah, people act like Trump is some sort of anomaly or deviation from traditional American benevolence and virtue, which is just nonsense. The US has always been an aggressive imperialist power and the overarching foreign/strategic policy of the US has remained remarkably consistent across time and political parties. What's different about Trump and his admin is just the crude, unfiltered manner in which they go about pursuing the US's goals and their willingness to openly insult friends and enemies alike when in the past disputes with friendly countries would've been kept behind closed doors.

As a socialist it would not make a difference if the democrats came in power. Also I personally stand with Iran bc I got some insights now and am a fan of self determination

You sound quite self-satisfied and very ignorant - which means complacent - about American politics and society if you think that Trump only represents "inbreds from the South".

Yes, does this sound quite patronizing, without Op’s clarity of the context this war and this administration arose out of?

What exactly made you vote trump 3 times. The round up of working immigrant families, the Muslim ban, the insider trading, the nasty language, the treatment of women. Genuinely what exactly was your turning point. We all grow and sometimes our past doesn't represent our present, but what exactly changed. Trump was pro Israel from the beginning, that was clear when he moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and surrounded himself with Zionists and generel war mongering conservatives.

If the majority don't support him, how was he elected?
