- mc32 7y agoI wouldn’t have minded if he had been a backer of republicanism, what I can’t accept is his steadfast support for neoconservatism and their fetish for reshaping the world. He thus brought about GWB and all its consequences and its continuation through a nicer lens in the Obama admin.
- daodedickinson 7y agoNot sure how big of a role he played. Seems to my admittedly hella blinkered view he supported GWB before alternatives were possible and opposed Trump when it was too late for a billionaire to stop him. I assume I'm wrong anyone who knows where please let me know where.
- croon 7y agoSupporting Trump isn't necessarily the biggest role to play. Look wider than that, for example quotes from the Koch Summit in 2014 [1]: [1] https://www.commoncause.org/democracy-wire/seven-disturbing-quotes/ https://www.commoncause.org/democracy-wire/seven-disturbing-... (I know the URL uses loaded words, but it's a DC watchdog group founded by a republican, if that's of any relevance)
