Thank you for saying that. I can't stand people who put party over principle. Had Donald Trump literally cured cancer, they would have been all over Twitter "those poor cancer cells! Cancerphobia is terrorism. Trump has committed genocide against cancer" etc.

When I was a kid my mother always called me Contrary Mary: "anything I say you always have to contradict!" (I was not aware I did that, but I was often accused!) Allegedly the Left are the Anti-War party, and we had four years without starting any foreign wars, and that's just ignored. If someone does a good thing you should acknowledge it, regardless of how you feel about that person's personality or whatever. And if someone does a bad thing, call them out, no matter how devoted you are to them.

And I would add, stop justifying "your" side for the things it does even if you recognize they are bad, and stop wishful thinking that they are going to see the light, eventually, just because you really, really want them to.

Trump didn't start any wars but that was not for lack of trying.

The assassination of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani and the most probably US/Israeli murder of the Iranian nuclear scientist were both provocations designed to get Iran to retaliate, after which the US/Israel would have bombed the hell out of Iran.

Trump also had to be talked out of bombing the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz, which could have also triggered the War to End All Wars (TM World War I)

As it was, there was rampant speculation that, given his actions in the region, Trump was going to attack Iran in his last days in office in order to leave Biden (not a peacenik himself) a mess coming in.

Trump Could Still Start a Last-Ditch War With Iran (THE ATLANTIC)

A final grand distraction before the president is forced to relinquish his office is a real danger that deserves serious attention. Dec 30 2020 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/trump-could-still-start-last-ditch-war-iran/617530/

Trump was also reluctant to put the US in Covid lockdown. Gee, if data had been scientifically gathered and analyzed, the public should have been sooner informed of vulnerable groups, and more targeted measures could have been employed earlier. I find it suspect the continued media blackout on vital nutrients (Vitamin D e.g.) and the denial of actual effective early treatments until after Biden was elected. But Trump was ridiculed. I've read too much history to mindlessly believe in coincidences or nonpolitical intentions. Check out the Hong Kong Flu. Society continued in the face of pandemics before. To me this lockdown down was reinforcing snowflake culture of the upper classes, while the lower classes were, shrug. Not good.

I kept asking people about the Hong Kong Flu of 1969. USA held Woodstock! Very few people even remember it and news coverage was minimal. I fear a big contributor to the death toll has been obesity. Americans (and others too, but I know this country best) are overall really unhealthy and morbidly obese.

I'm not attacking obese women. It happens. We eat garbage, we get depressed, we sit in front of computers.... but we need to improve and help ourselves. Not this "healthy at any size" brainwashing.

Everything that happens is for political reasons. And when I say "political," I really mean "criminal" -- politicians are criminals.
