It's sort of an odd position that exists right now in the anti Trump world.
I think the cavorting with Putin is definitely problematic but if I spoke about my reasons why it wouldn't likely resonate with anyone pro-trump.
However, if you point out his "beta" moves it seems to cut a bit deeper or resonate with the folks near the fence and might be more effective at moving the needle.
BUT then you have used "man-o-sphere" language to convince folks and that in and of itself is a dangerous space to occupy or push folks towards.
So then need to consider if the bully language is more of a backpedal or is it worth it to get the result folks are looking for.
It's just a whole lot of unpleasant and hasn't even hit upon the host of other troubling problems that are happening or looming.
It's bad in a way that makes me feel like we won't see any reform untill there is massive upheaval.
So not sure if trying to call out/downvoting the fellow raging against the machine is the real solution but if it works for you I'm glad.
Not ment to be a criticism of your post, just wanted to type out the thought, I don't usually post but find writing stuff out helps me cope/think through the ick.
