Say what you want but I learned my lesson from the first Trump presidency. Don't let that dangerous fool anywhere near the White House again.

I'm pretty conflicted about it. I want to see the most possible harm done to American empire (with least possible harm done to anyone else) and on one side Trump was incompetent enough to do some of it, but then Biden came and did so much more of it, so i'm not even really sure who would be better (or rather who would be worse).

Though main concern i guess is the fundamental question to which i simply don't know the answer: which party is less likely to say "apres mois, le deluge" and push the button or at least start "short, victorious war" but with nukes. Usually i would 100% point to republicans, but last two governments seen Trump backing in last minute from his planned aggression on Iran and Biden causing the proxy war in Ukraine (which thankfully don't currently have big chance to escalate in WW3) and at least allowing and supporting the massacre in Palestine (which have potential to go nuclear).

Then you should definitely fight against a second Trump term. He previously encountered numerous guardrails and systematically worked to dismantle them. Military leaders have warned against a second presidency, emphasizing Trump's chaotic and irrational behavior. He has expressed his love for authoritarian leaders and has turned to promoting Christian nationalism.

Trump will harm as many people as possible while enriching those with the greatest wealth.

Speaking of Trump not caring how many people he hurts...

I wouldn't use a Fox News screenshot as any form of reference. Here's his statement:

“But again, the point is it — it’s Iran that is at the heart of this and their proxies that bring disruption throughout the region,” Walz added. “That’s why being in the Situation Room, as the vice president was working with the Israelis to repel the attack we saw this week, they tried it back in April, the same thing. And that’s the point of being and boxing Iran in,” he said, arguing Trump allowed Iran to get closer to having nuclear weapons by pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Even that Politico rag don't believe him ("Walz downplays past false statements in rare interview" right in the headline) and call him about his turbozionism and this interview only confirmed it, even in your quotation and few next sentences he already speak as US was in open war with Iran
