I was ripping on Sam Harris with the thought experiment bit, it was his way of musing support for nuking the middle east. I agree it is a smug term. I don't know what your obsession is with the left right now, Trump has supporters on both sides of the spectrum. Many Obama voters flipped to Trump or abstained from voting all together. This isn't about left vs right. I am saying if Trump championed better causes he might still have more support, a lot of his support comes from people who just believe in him and only a small amount of them are sycophants.
Improved relations with Russia....? To me these relations seem basically the same as they always have been. The media still bashes Russia, we still aren't at war with Russia.
Trump is an interventionist though, we know this because of his use of escalation and his increased drone strikes over Drone King Obama.
Trump's healthcare plan was objectively speaking, not the improvement he campaigned on. I don't understand the red tape and regulation jargon. I have run a business and while there are many regulations there is also many opportunities for tax write offs and many incentives for putting capital back into your business rather than your bank account in Luxemburg.
