LIberals Don't Stand on Principle

It's completely clear to me that liberals don't stand for anything. Several liberal friends of mine have been posting anti-Trump stories that all else being equal, they'd normally support. Two examples:

Trump recently said that he would “certainly look at” pulling the United States out of NATO, because it is “obsolete” and “is costing us a fortune.” My liberal friend posted in opposition to Trump's position.

Trump also talked recently about "walking away" from our treaty with Japan. And again, another liberal friend posted their disdain for this position.

These two treaties keep the USA bound to military entanglements in which we may not wish to involve ourselves. The treaties also cause the US to support a larger military, maintaining forces and bases abroad. They provoke and irritate countries that these treaties were designed to protect against, and they force the USA to maintain a higher "defense" budget than we would normally consider. Lastly, they subsidize foreign governments that can maintain lower defense budgets due to our presence.

All of these reasons run contrary to what liberalism represents. And when presented with the rationale, the expected answer came in the form of crickets... silence.

I don't personally support Trump, but when a politician says something I agree with I'll voice my support. Liberals can't see the forest through the trees; they'll support their candidate and rage against their opponent without considering the issues.
