"When the Trump administration kidnapped the Maduros, it was a serious geopolitical action that seemed engineered primarily to play on X. And X is indeed where it played out. The action makes the most sense if we assume the primary purpose of the Maduro kidnapping was to generate content. After all, US forces could simply have assassinated him."

@egallager@social.treehouse.systemsI'd like to distinguish between 5 positions:
1. GOP: "Trump is good and Maduro is bad."
2. Many elected Dems: "Trump is bad, but he is the lesser of 2 evils compared to Maduro."
3. Me, before last night: "Trump & Maduro are equally bad."
4. Me, now: "Maduro is bad, but he is the lesser of 2 evils compared to Trump."
5. Tankies: "Maduro is good and Trump is bad."
Just because I've moved from 3 to 4, doesn't mean I'm willing to move to 5!
