Not only did he do everything in service of the US empire, but there's not a single notable politician who disagrees with him or his agenda because it's also their agenda. Was he just the Trump before Trump, being indifferent about the optics?

I prefer "liberals have supported every war when the news told them to".

They don't see atrocities as the result of a system, just outliers, mistakes, bad individuals, and other things they can overlook.

Whereas showing them every single military conflict the US has engaged in since WWII, it's much harder for them to say "Oh, yes we were wrong all those other times, but Ukraine or China or Iran or is different"
