I was a big fan of Trump and I'm very conservative. However, Trump has really screwed up and failed on his promises, especially on foreign policy and no more wars. And I'm not willing to just be a fan-boy and justify bad decisions.

As far as the GOP, it's an abject failure and is reflected directly by the fact that Trump, through one and half terms, has had to manage through executive orders and very few of what we wanted are protected through bills passed in the House and Senate. You want to be a Thune fan, go ahead. I won't.

Just out of curiosity, how do you consider yourself a conservative? So far you've spoken democrat talking points. Hateful ones... Surely you know that, right?

First, Trump stopped 8 wars from happening. That said, no President can say there won't be any wars during his term - and Trump didn't say that either. Trump spoke of stopping 'forever' wars. Years and years of costly stalemates like Biden and Obama gave us. War we didn't win or lose and were meaningless. Wars that went on for YEARS.

The war with Iran is NOT a 'forever' war. It's been going on less than 7 months. The goal is to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Because we all know as soon as Iran gets a few nuclear bombs they will kill millions of people in Israel and millions of people in the United States. How do we know that ? Because they've been saying it the last 47 years. "Death to Israel - Death to America" And Iran's invested in building ICBM's (intercontinental ballistic missiles). Stress on 'intercontinental' - that means they would be able to hit us with a nuke - they already can hit Israel if they had the nukes - but not us... yet. You want to give up a few American cities?

I'm guessing this war will be over soon. It'll NEVER be a forever war.

Seriously what 'conservative' positions do you hold? Any that aren't stereotypical BS put out by democrats to smear Trump, MAGA and the half of Americans who elected Trump?
