It’s actually the easiest thing ever to remain staunchly anti-PRC when your family survived the Cultural Revolution. It’s also easy to not fall for China’s attempts to divert the world’s attention from its consistently abysmal human rights record. https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/1248262780668514304
I’ll always remain critical of American foreign policy and arrogance. There’s a difference between critiquing that kind of American exceptionalism and sucking up to China because you’re a neoliberal shill who needs to constantly reaffirm his religious hatred for Trump every day.
When Trump’s era of America ends, remember the pundits and political figures who dedicated nearly a decade of their careers to peddling conspiracy theories and being useful idiots for brutal regimes like China because it was the fashionable thing to do so. Because I won’t forget.
I don’t like Trump and I’ve said that for the entirety of his presidency. But that hasn’t stopped people from accusing me of being a hardcore right-wing MAGA apologist because I choose to be measured with my criticism. Defending China to own Bad Orange Man is pure idiocy.
