How many times do I need to say I'm not a Republican? I was a card-carrying ACLU member who marched against US involvement in Nicaragua and was in the Peace and Justice club of my high school. I haven't changed any of those principles, the parties have changed around me. Just because I am objective enough about Team Blue to not buy everything they are selling doesn't make me 'Red'. I wasn't on these boards during the Trump era so you have no idea how I would or would not have railed against any of his policies.
It may come as a surprise given the media articles, but he isn't President anymore and has no power when it comes to setting policy. I am focusing on the people who do and the trends I am seeing. It's kind of like you asking me 'what about Hoover' when I'm decrying FDR putting American citizens into camps.
