The truth is that Americans don’t care about their country killing foreigners, but they care a little more if their president is shown to be sexually impure. Politically it’s way more relevant.
Can I just jump in here and say as an American I fucking care. I think we need to prosecute presidents for war crimes. All of them. I think every living former president deserves to be on trial for the murders they have committed. I’m staunchly anti-death-penalty but would make an exception if it prevents them from pardoning each other. This is the ONLY way we will reign in my country’s insane bipartisan military aggression, presidents should be scared as hell to misuse that power. I’m fucking horrified.

Puritanism and all that.

In my opinion you’re part of a minority so small that I wouldn’t know how to represent it numerically.
Probably, but I still think it’s worth saying.
“Sexually impure”…? He could have every freaky kink in the book and I wouldn’t care at all…
He raped and trafficked children.
It’s not exactly “puritanism” to be mad about that. And we can still be mad about the imperialist invasion of Venezuela.
Yeah and he also killed many MANY more than he raped, yet they don’t matter as much, apparently.
