Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I've to remind them of their leader's illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

No, the alternative is almost the exact same for most of us in the imperial periphery. At least with Trump we know that the US is imploding at a faster rate.

But make no mistake, for the rest of us, there's absolutely no difference in who sits as the POTUS. We get bombed either way. To us, the Dems and the Reps are the exact same with different colored ties
