I really wish that some people would stop with this "you're a terrible person because you voted for x person".

Yeah, I know it sounds strange to think that a person is a terrible individual if he/she supportd an openly racist, misogynist power hungry man with fascist tendencies. Very strange indeed. 

That's just you projecting what you think over reality.

That's your opinion. He only allowed strikes on targets related to chemical weapons and didn't attack any russians. I never voted for him so the US would become a hermit nation. I voted for him on several issues. Most nations consider the usage of chemical weapons to be a red line. The US has to remain a global player.

That goes against you saying how you're for small government, and how the left equals more government while the right equals less government. In order to remain a global player and have a large presence worldwide it requires a huge budget, manpower and bureaucracy in order to maintain. Surely I'd assume someone who is against big government would be opposing this.

I never said that and I think that you misunderstand what the right means when they want smaller government. I want a smaller government in terms of limiting the authority and power of the government over it's people. I want to preserve the liberty of people as much as possible. Most of the right would agree with that and this is what they mean by smaller government.

I didn't mean be a global player as in be a part of international community like the EU. They're off their rockers. I meant it as in playing chess on a international level where we're allies with other friendly countries but not partners on equal grounds. We lead the way and stir the world towards a future we want for the world and one that suits us and our allies best. It would also work out really well for most countries. You can't do that by being a hermit country.  I don't care for these proxy wars or trying to set up puppet-like governments. We also don't have to counter whatever Russia or China does on reflex.
