I'm against the war in Gaza and I believe the world is too globalized driving a lot of our modern ills.

> I'm against the war in Gaza

Do the words Abraham Accords mean anything to you?

I already responded about Gaza in the other comment, but can you explain more about the globalization point? I'm assuming you think Trump will improve the situation, can you explain your reasoning there? I do think the CHIPs act was a step in the right direction to reduce US dependence on foreign nations.

Me too. It was very hard to give someone (Harris) my vote when she was at best complicit in, and at worst aiding a genocide. But Trump said Netanyahu was doing a very good job and he has serious support from the most batshit insane people in AIPAC. Trump actually said they need to finish the job.

Trump is not anti-intervention abroad as matter of policy, which I could support. Trump is anti-intervention (pull funding for Ukraine) when it helps his team (Russia) and pro-intervention when it helps his buddies (Miriam Adelson and her zionist ilk). I do think Trump will end the war in gaza, but it will be because Israel exterminates the remaining inhabitants and annexes it and the west bank. Mark my words. There will be no consequences for them doing so, because they have Trump and the US by the balls.

And, I agree with you on the second point, that the US would be better off with stronger manufacturing. There was a lot of good stuff in the inflation reduction act and the CHIPS act. At least domestically, Biden wasn't the disaster that he was wrt foreign policy. But again, it seems like Trump's inability to stand for anything is going to cause issues. We'll get tariffs but those are a pretty blunt instrument that is going to decimate American manufacturing while it gets up to speed.

It's wild that we agree on the direction of the country yet come to such different conclusions. How does this happen?

Why do I loath Biden? I blame him for the war in Ukraine from back when he was made vicar in 2014.

Similarly, I'm aghast with the war in Gaza, so I was on the fence on Trump.

Can you explain more about Biden's involvement in Ukraine or link to something I can read more about that?

Why do you think Trump will be better for the war in Gaza?

Genuinely asking.
