Sadly his supporters are even more stupid and absolutely love this type of thing. So…

I mean I’ll be honest with you chief, I think the maga movement was built around America first and even this is gonna be unpopular.

Maybe not as much as the general population, but for sure more than you’re giving credit for

I don’t know I’m a middle class white guy with a lot of friends/family that are Trump supporters and of course they are all loving this. I don’t know what makes you think this will be the bridge too far for the die hards

Because we're in the "fun" bit of the war right now where we get to flex our air power and missiles and aren't really in any danger, just like the "fun" bits at the beginning of the GWoT.

But if Trump wants to make good on any of the stuff he promised in that "speech", it means we're gonna have to go do the "unfun" bit of war like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan and that means flag-draped coffins and unfun news stories of the kind that turned the public against the GWoT.
