We went from "Trump doesn't start wars" to "send your kids to die for oil reserves" pretty fast.

This is the issue that Trump will lose support over for real. There's a large faction on the right who are sick of endless wars. You ask them to send their kids to die, and they'll sit out future elections.

@fromjason so sending kids abroad is more appalling than sextrafficking kids? And it even distracts the attention from the latter?

@hermannus oh, I'm not gonna defend the thinking here. Just pointing it out.

@fromjason not asking to, don't worry

@fromjason Every president loves preaching peace while signing off on another war or bankrolling someone else’s. Start it, join it, fund it… same rotten game with a different suit behind the desk. I’m tired of watching lives get traded for politics and profit.

@fromjason what are people doing to stop these abuses? War, sexual abuse, sex traffickers etc. The ‘siting out’ of an election is ludicrous! Get actively involved too many people put it onto others to do what is right! Elections require an informed and active electorate.
