Why didnt Trump end the Afghan war?

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington commented…4mos4MO

He was real close to doing it – just had a few more weeks to go, and everyone would be out peacefully – till Biden came and abandoned a few hundred of our Sons & Daughters to die at the hands of the Afghans. Trump withdrew honourably, and would have been completely out very peacefully had he been re-elected, Biden withdrew in a frenzy that sacrificed innocent lives and spilled the blood of our Patriots & Warriors.

Nah he still very much threw peace to the wind. “Unleashing American energy” is another great way of saying “letting corporations walk all over you.”

I'd rather have corporations walk all over me and half $1.89 gas than have the government take their place and have $6 gas.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia commented…4mos4MO

We all say that until monopolies come into place, then gas prices are the least of your worries. If a monopoly gains power, you’ll get those gas prices… for a bit. As they control industries, they can increase the prices as they please, and then as the government does nothing, it replaces the government and becomes just as tyrannical as people thought that government was. Unless companies are democratically controlled, or regulated, the government is our only option to hold back monopolies and corporate power.

When was the last time you heard a conservative calling for a gasoline monopoly? Are you just putting those words in conservatives mouths, fallaciously contrasting a Straw Man Argument & attacking a position conservatives never professed to hold again? That's sure what it seems like. Get real here, Trump never called for monopolies.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia commented…4mos4MO

But he allows them. He does, he will, don’t deny that. When government restriction dies, monopolies grow. It’s not something we can stop unless we regulate it, or the people do so by controlling the corporations themselves. If you advocate for the destruction of corporate regulation, then they will become monopolies. The people alone aren’t strong enough to hold back a monopoly, that’s been long since proven. You may not call for monopolies, but you make the so much easier to allow.
