In the Sad Fantasy World of "Resistance"

In the Trump era it has amazed me that people who generally don't pay any more attention to foreign policy than can be displayed on a bumper sticker (or single Tweet) were horrified at what they think Trump will do to harm American foreign interests.

So yeah:

Remember how Trump was going to start global economic war with China, withdraw from NATO, start a wider war in Syria by bombing Russian bases, start World War III with North Korea, sell out the U.S. to get peace with North Korea, start World War III because he is Hitler, start a war over Venezuela, start a genocide of Kurds with Turkey…

And don't forget start World War III with Iran.

The media whipped the Resistance into a frothy frenzy over every damn thing. But Frenzied Americans learned nothing about the world or their "news" sources after each disaster failed to materialize.

I suppose if I was so deluded, I might believe "President Trump must be removed from office 'immediately,' Democratic impeachment managers argue in a new brief, because he poses 'an immediate threat to the nation and the rule of law.'"

Perhaps in their magical thinking there are Democrats who believe baying at the moon prevented disasters.



But I'm no so deluded. Nor frothy. And I don't scream at the sky. So I don't live in a daily world of panic attacks.

America's place in the world is just fine.
