It's easy to misinterpret people joking around as outright liking something, he's problematic but he's the best thing for the region that currently exists and we have to be realists not moralisers that say "oh allllll sides are bad" because such a position ultimately only helps the strongest side (the US) which is going to result in far worse living standards for the people living there.
What the region needs is all military pulling out and allowing the Syrian people to peacefully develop. The US however wants the oil, which it has gained control of in the North East by doing deals with the Rojava anarchists.
Yeah at a certain point it just stops coming across as critical support and more just support. I dont see the point of celebrating an election with a foregone conclusion, dudes been in power forever.
Because doing such things creates opportunities to have conversations like this one that act as education for new people who might be reading about why they should have critical support as principled anti-imperialists. If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism then anti-imperialism is the highest stage of class struggle.
Critical support for anti-imperialism.

Turning a dial labeled "Level of Critical Support for Assad" back and forth until it's at the exact point to make machiabelly happy
