One of the biggest problems with the Democrats’ campaign was they went all in on this “benevolent” interventionist policy, and denounced anyone who disagrees with it for any reason as a Russian bot. This papered over differences on the right and allowed Trump to simultaneously win over the libertarian isolationists who want to stay out of conflicts and the nationalists who want mask off imperialism, and that same inflexibility is what alienated the left.
OBJECTION!
If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.
Evidence or GTFO.

12·5 hours agoNo, I just don’t like unprovoked wars of aggression and decades long occupations. Including when someone not named Trump is doing it, including when it happens to countries outside of the imperial core.

The implication is that the Iraqis were not forced into anything against their will, that the invasion and occupation was in their interests and for their benefit, and so this is dissimilar and the Greenlanders would resist harder than the Iraqis.
The reality is that the Iraq War was similar because they were both imperialistic wars of aggression for the purpose of seizing resources.
