I got the whole "he is going to get us into WW3" takes in 2016. But its 2024, we saw what a Trump term looked like the first time and it didn't happen. He is more prepared and knowledgeable about how to be president now, and knows how to use the levers of power better this time.
So based on that, I think you'd be surprised how many 'intellectuals' from the 60's-70's era would be supporting Trump right now if they were alive.

Anti war for Kamala is like fetuses for Kamala.

Kubrick would’ve been MAGA for sure.

Pretty sure she was making a war face when writing that…

Man, that's to good to leave to a link....
The full post...
"Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself - however - these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.
Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team - Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.
And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military - so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.
Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.
Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!
My father had a great respect for life - his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!
Capisce? "

Not at all what I expected when I clicked the link. Kudos for her speaking out when she will most assuredly receive immense negative backlash for her thoughts.

I have no idea how old you are, but I'm old enough to remember the Left using the same "he's going to get us into WW3" cliche with Reagan in 1980.
The Left has this myopic, egotistical view that their definition of peace is the same as that of every other country. With that, they think that all that's needed to achieve peace is just to give the other side enough to show our (the US') good intentions and everyone will just be happy and peaceful together.
This, of course, is ridiculous. The countries most likely to wage war are most likely to do so because they think their opponents to be weak and/or they believe they can use international pressures to help them win against their enemy(ies). Those countries respect only strength, thus military strength is the only defense they respect. It's the only check against their aggression that they'll accept (and even then, they will push boundaries to see if that check is still in place).
This projection of strength is why and how Reagan was able to speed the fall of the Soviet Union and why Trump was the first President in a very long time to not get us into a new war.

Haven't heard that story - can you elaborate on what changed?

Lets see if the media covers this breathlessly like they did when Nancy Sinatra made a joke tweet about Trump using "My Way" at his inauguration.

Dang what rock have I been under?
Kubrick was a Reagan fan?

It’s too bad Kubrick has been voting dems ever since his passing
