And even if that was the goal they are backing the wrong one.
Trump isn't actually going to war; he is pulling back forces - he just wants to be seen as tough and hopes that no-one calls the bluff.
True, but still not as detached from reality as the "it's just a flashbang" comment after a rioter was fatally shot.

And the "Conservative" party has been falling over themselves to kiss his feet for the past 4 years with massive approval rating from them when he did those actions which only started to fall when intentionally risked the lives of other conservative leaders and skill commands a decent amount of that approval.
These actions are further evidence that what you described IS modern American conservatism.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
That's probably closer to the truth. It's hard to nail down a clear political ideology because ultimately he's a Trumpist. Trumpists do what they think benefits Trump. I remain convinced that his followers would fully back a progressive socialist agenda if Trump was the one presenting it to them.
Hah hah, @YUPPIE said he wanted "no negotiations" but still supported Trump. Isn't that admission of trolling?

Graham calls upon McConnell dism..
(checks news)
Graham calls upon Schumer to dismiss impeachment charges, calling them "vengeance and political retaliation" after backing Trump's twitter feed for four years.
He also calls them "unConstitutional" which, well, no they're not. He just disagrees with them.
He does, however, raise a point: a loophole by which Republicans can vote "no" without admitting they're traitors to the country who support murderous insurrection.
Now he's still a hypocrite. The reason the Senate hasn't voted yet is because McConnell said there'd be no vote. However, again, Graham provides what's left of the Republican Party with a talking point.The impeachment power exists to protect the Nation from the harm that an incumbent president might inflict upon the Nation were he to remain in office, not to vindicate political grievances after a president has left office
Oh, and he also calls for "national healing" after, you know, Trump ordered his murderous insurrectionist thugs to ransack the Senate while Graham was in it.
Pretty much. Trump went and "negotiated" with the worst of the worst, and got a pinky swear out of them. The whole thing was a disaster, as was to be expected. Looking at you, North Korea.
Having some fun watching Trumpsters at the airport.
"You are treating me like a fucking black person". There are no words.
It's lines like that that should really make the parody the poster is trying to portray that much obvious. It ranks up there with Knadra's 'I don't care if the president does crimes as long as he's on my team!' quote that I'm sure someone around here has in their sig.
Does it, though? He's a full-blown Trump supporter. And Trump went and negotiated with Taliban and North Korea. And Trump didn't give a shit when American soldiers were on Russian bounty lists. Not one peep ever came out of Trump on the subject. And let's not even talk about the "trade war" with China...
Well, I guess it does, if he is really devout in his worship, and blinded by the majestic Golden Calf that is Donald Trump.
Trump supporters were always about bullish message and posturing over actual action or results.
The exact opposite of “walk softly and carry a big stick” as it were:
“Be as loud as possible in claiming you have the most bigliest stick of them all, all whilst carrying a conspicuous absence of a stick”
