@MoiraEve this is a strawman argument, though.
Trump and Vance had nothing to do with the whitepaper, so instead of attacking their actual stances, you're projecting the argument onto them that you want them to be making, and that's not a legitimate way to do things.
Plenty wrong with them. It's better to attack them for what's actually wrong with them, not to attack them for positions that they denounce.
