      Thing is though, liberal opposition would be much higher. March on DC may have been twice the size under Trump. Not saying anything balances, but there is that aspect to consider under a Trump presidency too

        Sort of, yeah, but not really when it comes to stuff about countries that aren’t a hot topic. Mexico - the libs might say something because to be pro-mexican is to be anti trump. Maybe there’d be more opposition if Trump was in power on certain issues, but at the same time the ‘opposition’ they show is usually meaningless and disappears once the Dems get back in power, and pivot to a new voter issue to consolidate power.

        But in deeper South America, Bolivia, Venezuela, Chile, and so on, libs couldn’t care less. They’ve never cared about what goes on in the periphery. The media will put out a bunch of op-eds about why the next left wing candidate is actually one of the bad guys, and the libs will follow suit.
