Trump might destroy our alliance with Europe and weaken NATO and cause general chaos amongst the imperialists
I had some degree of faith in this before but idk, he seemed to get reined in somewhere along the way after he started to stray too far from obstructing US foreign policy and into actively undermining it (think how he flipped on his position on the DPRK for some indiscernible reason - either he was on a grift and trying to woo the DPRK government and he entered into the following phase of trying to railroad his objectives with them and they said "Lol no" so Trump decided that they were terrible because they weren't willing to play ball in exactly how he demanded they should, or the CIA had had enough of his shenanigans and decided to show him the Zapruder extended cut or they dug up the Epstein Cinematic Universe movies that he was on set for during the recording and they said pull your shit in or we're really going to make you into a star.)
Whatever the truth of the matter is, I feel like his policy on this stuff shifted pretty significantly and kinda out of nowhere. The dude's clearly the most stable genius out there though so it's hard to tell whether there's something behind the scenes directly shaping these changes or if he's just a wrecking ball that's careening between one thing and the next.
Whether it's true or not the liberals believe it is true. They are genuinely scared of that outcome.
Somehow they are oblivious to how much damage Biden has done with the way Israel has been handled though.
God I wish that everything that liberals believed was true. Just think about it:
Communists have infiltrated colleges, and maybe even the entire education system
China is planning an invasion of the US
Trump is going to destroy the US alliance with Europe and break up NATO
Communists are a large and well-organised enough that they can undermine elections and they have enough people influence to sway people's politics
Capitalism is good, actually, and it's going to improve the lives of people in the developing world and things are improving for the people of the US
Voting for the Democrats will stop fascism
The "good guys" are good and the "bad guys" are bad
All we need is to tweak at the dials in order to make things right
The global hegemon is a benevolent force in the world
Shit, don't threaten me with a good time...
You could randomly pick any one of these things and if you wished it into reality I'd be overjoyed at the outcome.
God I know that feeling
Back when I was a radlib I would sometimes think "I don't believe in the American dream but I really wish I could"
I don't think the US president has that much power, the ruling class will probably make sure atlanticism continues unimpeded
Watch as the US takes the europeans with them as they drown
presidents actually have immense amounts of power (on paper) regarding treaties, alliances, war and foreign policy
I also remember during the Trump term a bunch of articles with titles like "the brave people on Trump's cabinet who ignore his stupid ideas."
Clearly it's far from total control since Trump still tore up the Iran deal and raised tensions in Israel, Korea and elsewhere, but I believe the deep state will defend NATO from him if they have to.
Nothing I would love to see more than a chud civil war between the Nat Sec deep state types and the Trump hogs. Heighten those contradictions baby
Love seeing our enemies fighting each other
That civil war would be over in five minutes, it would just be Jan 6 on a bigger scale. A bunch of Trumpers dressed up like Vikings would get drone striked.
The CIA also has immense amounts of power in staging an assassinations of presidents.
