I can't imagine anyone who interacts with Trump for more than a few seconds "likes" him on any level beyond the most utilitarian.

I'm amazed at how few dumb motherfuckers you've met.

Seriously, talk to any idiot racist, and you'll be able to imagine someone who would like him because you'll have met them.

Trump is old as hell and the next year will take a serious toll on what is left of his mental capacity... If he gets over the line in 2020 the Republicans are going to have a fully deranged, unchained monster on their hands.

That's probably the worst case scenario. Him being lucid enough to continue stoking the fire of the worst people. It's not like him being Silent King would be much of an improvement, though. Our system has propped up corpses before and seems to continue pillaging everything without missing a beat. Any republican victory is disastrous to human rights. And the world. And ... the concept of decency, I guess. gently caress 'em.

The Kurds in that area are an example of a successful anarchist autonomous zone and the zone is home to millions of civillians who were able to build lives for themselves after the Syrian Civil War uprooted their lives.
Once again the project will fail thanks to violence of outside State forces who fear it's very existence because it shows a viable means of living WITHOUT State domination.

Its not very viable if an outside state can come in and dominate them.

That's another thing I'm cross about. Iran has a sizable population of people who just want to get on with things, modernize with respect to civil rights, and be respected as a nation that isn't demonized at every turn with the West. The more we make Iran Deals happen, the more political influence those people get as we seem like a reasonable nation to reconcile with. The more we poo poo on them because neocons and evangelists need an enemy, the more influence the reactionary anti-west olds gain, as they remember the US loving the whole country over.

This is a global level self-own because Trump is everything he criticized Obama for.

Giving white liberals an excuse to pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

Pipeline protest accomplished very little outside of giving activists and opportunity to network, strikes intentionally targeting vulnerable logistics are the only way to fight back against the system.

That wasn't accomplished by protests though, the Civil Rights Act was the result of a whole bunch of riots and the very real threat of widespread civil unrest. Crediting the Civil Rights Act with peaceful demonstrations is literally the whitewashed version of History.

NATO power is built on several things:

- The US protecting it's allies
- The US reliably backing treaties it's signed(uh except with indigenous peoples)
- The US seriously supporting NATO stuff

guess which of those Trump has damaged massively

I want to take this one step further. The Republicans have no coherent foreign policy other than its still the cold war and we will using cold war tactics. They actively eschew learning about other countries and cultures and just assume American military might will carry the day. Then they will just oppose the Democrats for doing/not doing something.

What I'm trying to say is Trump is a perfect representative of the Republican party: no plan, just projections.
