Yes! That’s a good point. I think maybe because there’s the slightly misguided notion that the democrats would ideologically pacifist (thereabouts) so it seems extra egregious when the military industrial complex is seemingly given free reign no matter who’s in charge.
Wonder what will happen to all those weapons deals trump made with Saudi Arabia etc...

I'd much rather the US wasn't killing anybody at all but I suppose, through gritted teeth, the use of technology to kill fewer people might be just about seen as a step in the right direction....maybe. Ugh.

One could argue that's because there isn't much difference between the two parties in the current climate of Neo-Liberalism; we're given the choice of two warmongers wearing either a red or blue hat.
