he's not a republican though. even though i don't agree with everything they represent, traditional republicans always had some common sense and mostly operated in a somewhat logical, predictable way. usually they were loyal to the post-ww2 western values and they took their alliances seriously enough. and what reagan and gorbachev achieved together was extremely important for the changes in the communist block which i'll be thankful for. i'd probably never have a good job and a comfortable life without either of those two
trump though, he's not republican. he's a fake christian, a draft dodger, feels and shows contempt for the army, he's a populist, anti-nato, anti-eu, anti free trade, protectionist like no republican post-ww2, shits on traditional gop immigration policy, doesn't respect institutions and the constitution, hates facts, education, science, etc. he's just a clown compared to the republicans i've known before
