    Given recent events, I really don’t see how bending the knee to Trump is any different than bending the knee to the Democrats, especially Biden who committed genocide. It’s just another capitalist bending the knee to the world hegemon in the United States.

      Has the Proton CEO bent the knee to the Democrats like he’s apparently done with Trump?

      What? Trump is subservient to Russia and China. He’s selling the country off to make a quick buck.

        • Trump is subservient to Russia and China.

          Damn, Trump is pretty fucking rad apparently

          This Andy Yen guy is pretty cool for supporting Trump then!

        See this is the exact liberal nonsense I’m talking about. How is Trump “subservient to Russia and China”? Because he views continuing the war in Ukraine as no longer in the United States’ interest? And China? I thought Trump was all about tariffs on Chinese goods and starting a trade war in his last term. I don’t see that as subservient, that’s confrontation. A negative confrontation that just hurt everyone globally. If you’re talking about dialing down the temperature against China in his upcoming term, that would be because the US benefits from Chinese imports and can’t wean itself off of them due to a lack of domestic manufacturing and industry, and because China needs a market to sell their goods to as domestic consumption + exports to the rest of the world can’t make up for US consumption, so they’ll give in to US demands. I fail to see how such a position is “pro China” it’s just self interest.

        You have to stop viewing politics through the personalities of world leaders as if it’s some kind of Hollywood movie, and view the material reality. If the USA is no longer interested in pursuing a certain action or decides to escalate on another front in the next four yet, ask yourself why is that the case, instead of defaulting to “Trump crazy stupid strongman dictator selling out the USA”. That kind of liberal analysis is not helpful and will leave you lost.

    • Yeah, I really think this is a little overblown for what he said.

      Critical support for specific reasons doesn’t exist for these people. Just black and white, Harry and Voldemort.
