I just fixed a pretty egregious typo where I started talking about Reagan's policy and included something that was actually Trump's policy. It was pretty jarringly wrong, so I hope people figured out that's not what a I mean to say.

This is what happens when my free, semi-volunteer proofreader goes back to school.

You do not have to go back as far as Reagan. In four years the Republicans went from Romney (who, as an aside, was the last presidential nominee of either major party who met even minimal criteria of experience, intelligence, character, and fidelity to the Constitution for the job) to Trump. That was some fast transmogrifying. I still can’t fully figure out what the idiots were thinking.

Your preamble on Trump is completely valid. Unfortunately there is also a preamble about Harris and the Dems. In the war in Gaza, Israel is right and needs to win, and Hamas is wrong and needs to be defeated. It is a struggle between liberal civilization and savagery and barbarism and part of a worldwide struggle between liberal civilization and its enemies. Any outcome leaving Hamas as a functioning organization would be a strategic victory for Hamas and its masters in Iran. In favoring a cease fire leading to such an outcome, Harris and Biden have sided with giving them that victory.

There is no good choice in this election. There may not even be a tolerable lesser evil.
