  • It’s like hijacking a plane pre-9/11. Everyone knew you just followed along because the hijackers wanted something. Then 9/11 happened and hijacking the plane WAS what they wanted.

    Tarriffs pre-Trump always were to pressure a change in some policy. Then Trump came along and tarriffs were the policy. But instead of World Trade Center collapsing, it is now just World Trade.














  • Anti-iraq war protesters killed John Kerry’s presidential bid and led to 4 more years of Bush. Did that mean the democrats ran away from the issue and everyone supported the Iraq War?

    No, we changed leadership and polling so much so that we finally got out of the war. The option shifted so hard that in 2015 the only republican in a huge field of candidates that said the Iraq war was a failure won the primary, the whitehouse, and (eventually after he left) got us finally out of Afghanistan. (Yes I know that was Biden, but was odd that Obama didn’t do it).
