    People need to stop acting like he was "at least good in terms of foreign policy."

    So many people let “at least he’s funny” transform into “actually he’s unironically the harm reduction candidate!”

    It’s such a bizarre take that only people who get their news from irony accounts believe. They let him say and do whatever up until it actually starts affecting the security state.

    He’ll type up hot shit on twitter about nuking North Korea or Syria or Iran, then a few moments later he’ll appear in a video where he speaks slowly, properly in whole sentences, in a normal voice and volume, without going on tangents and insulting people, and explaining the situation without making threats. You think that was voluntary? It’s all a wrestling match. Just don’t break kayfabe

      This is one way people dig themselves into silly ultra-left positions, too.

        Ultra-leftism is rife on Twitter especially.

        You get takes like "Trump good actually."
