Republicans have not always known that china is the greatest threat, Nixon was the one who established relations with china in the first place. And don't give me some BS about how that was good for America in the long run, we should have sanctioned the shit out of them and left them to rot like Cuba or North Korea.
Russia also does not have America's best interests in mind at all, far from it. A lot of things Russia does they do purely because they oppose American interests. I think China is more of a threat than Russia, but they're both enemies of America, make no mistake.
I wish Trump would raise tariffs on China even higher, maybe to 100% across all goods, and possibly including sanctions. Unfortunately all the democrats oppose policies like that which is one of many reasons why republicans are and have always been better at international politics than democrats.
Also Putin and Xi Xinping are both sissies with small dicks who can't stand to be insulted even on the internet (both countries have passed laws making it illegal to do so).

Oh please, that's nothing compare to the concentration camps that are present today in China, or the concentration camps Russia once had. To compare them to nazi concentration camps is laughably naive.
Edit; Also, I was a bit harsh on Trump last night. The truth is that there are things about him that I like and things about him that I hate, and so it's hard for me to ever decide how I feel about him. Sometimes I feel like I could actually vote for him, but other times when I think about other stuff he's done or said, the people he's attacked, I'm so repulsed and sickened that I can't concieve of it. But then I look at his actual policies that I support and I'm like "these are good policies that none of the democrats will ever support " I would make this into its own post, but then that would be a double post when I could just edit this one.

I don't know why you think relaxed gun laws are a good thing. Americans are 10 times more likely to be killed by guns than the people in other countries.
But on top of that, here is a very small list of how other countries are freer. Other countries:
1. Don't lock up more people than any other democracy (as Morel Guy already mentioned) 2. Have national health insurance 3. Pay for public college 4. Have laws that better protect workers ability to organize and negotiate 5. Have greater social mobility 6. Don't allow assassination of their own citizens 7. Don't allow indefinite detention 8. Don't allow warrantless searches
We're not the freest by a long shot. And this list is just a starting point...

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

So you're saying Russia blocks child pornography, materials advocating drug abuse and drug production, items on their Federal List of Extremist Materials, and violations of data retention and surveillance laws?
I suspect the US blocks some of those things too.

Quote:
Russia has added a digitally altered image of President Vladimir Putin in heavy makeup to its list of banned extremist materials, saying the picture suggests Putin is gay.
The Russian Ministry of Justice last week added the photo to its index of extremist materials ― a list that now includes more than 4,000 images that are illegal to share. The offending image is number 4,071, which the ministry describes a “man resembling the president” whose makeup “hints at the Russian president’s allegedly nonstandard sexual orientation.”
The Putin in makeup picture’s addition to the list of extremist materials stemmed from a court case in May in the city of Tver. The ruling outlawed a number of images posted on Russian social media platform Vkontakte by defendant A. V. Tsvetkov. Among other now-banned images that Tsvetkov posted were Putin as a Nazi, and overtly racist and anti-Semitic materials.
Tsvetkov’s Vkontakte account is no longer accessible. The government’s description of the extremist image of Putin mentions painted eyelashes and lips, as well as a caption that uses a homophobic slur.
The depiction of Putin in brightly colored cosmetics began to crop up following the Kremlin’s 2013 gay propaganda law, which effectively banned the distribution of materials giving information on LGBTQ rights. Human rights groups and activists widely condemned the discrimination, and protests around the world featured images of Putin in makeup.

imagine if the Shroomery were banned from memes portraying Trump as anti-Semitic, an Israel sympathizer on the other side, or a Nazi, let alone Biden and Obama for their gay relationship

dark energy is passive, receptive,and embracing
"dark" is not synonymous with "evil" in the Daoist system
Trump is primarily active masculine Yang energy, invoking change without the considered balance of Yin to guide it
Quote:
Yin Yang illustrated from the Tao Te Ching [2]
When people see things as beautiful, ugliness is created. When people see things as good, evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other. Difficult and easy complement each other. Long and short define each other. High and low oppose each other. Fore and aft follow each other.
Basic Concepts Defining the Nature of Yin Yang
Neither Yin nor Yang is absolute. Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang. Each aspect contains the beginning point for the other aspect. For example, day becomes night and then night becomes day. Yin and Yang are interdependent upon each other so that the definition of one requires the definition for the other to be complete. Yin Yang is not static. The nature of Yin and Yang flows and changes with time. A simple example is thinking about how the day gradually flows into the night. However, the length of day and night are changing. As the earth ages, its spin is slowing causing the length of day and night to get longer. Day and night are not static entities. Sometimes changes in the relationship between Yin and Yang can be dramatic where one aspect can just transform into the other. As an example: some species of fish have females that transform quickly into males when the population of males isn’t enough. The summation of Yin and Yang form a whole. One effect of this is: as one aspect increases the other decreases to maintain the overall balance of the whole. The balance of Yin Yang can be skewed due to outside influences. Four possible imbalances exist: Deficiency Yang Deficiency Yin Excess Yang Excess Yin
These imbalances can be paired: so an excess of Yin can also simulate a Yang deficiency and vice versa.
As an example, this concept is especially important for Chinese healing practices. So an excess of Yang results in a fever. An excess of Yin could mean the accumulation of fluids in the body. Chinese healing examines a person’s health by using the eight principles: Internal and External stimuli, Deficiency and Excesses, Cold and Heat and Yin and Yang. Yin Yang can be subdivided into additional Yin and Yang aspects. For example, a Yang aspect of Heat: can be further subdivided into a Yin warm or Yang burning.

Yang, despite his name, is very much a good example of carefully considered Yin energy he guides active energy forward in a productive manner (ie: looking at getting ahead of the game with tech advances rather than letting unmitigated robotics to control the economy) and he is receptive to the emotional:
