RE: Trump Gives in on Afghanistan, Opens The War Up to No End
Ron Paul once said that the peace candidate usually always wins the general elections, maybe Trump's campaign strategists were just aware of that aswell. It's funny to see all the people that got him elected saying that he was gona end the Fed and the wars and so on and so forth now making backwards saltos to try to justify Trump's moves. They have blood on their hands and should apologize for misleading people imho. As for the voters (sorry if you're one of them), you take yourselves of the hook a bit too easily aswell when you say ''that asshole, he betrayed us ! He won't get my vote again !'', you let yourselves be fooled.
Well. I'm not an American, but if I had been I probably would have voted for him, because I was afraid Hillary would have started WWIII. After all she kept threatening Russia and said all options are on the table and it was her who was responsible for the destruction of Libya. And after she watched Gaddafi being rape-murdered she laughed and cited Julius Cesar.
So the choice was to either vote for the psychopath who promised war or for the narcissist who promised to stop the wars.
I even think Trump originally meant to have kept his promise until he came under pressure, where he then showed himself as a man without a backbone.
I agree with your first paragraph, I used those arguments aswell when liberals arround me were acting like Trump was the end of the world but Hillary was just fine. However I think that this mentality that you have to chose the lesser of two evils is the root of the problem. I guess it's all a matter of principle vs pragmatism, but in my opinion the reason other parties/candidates can't win is because people think that they don't have a chance and therefor don't vote for them, it's a vicious cycle.
