How can Hanania complain so much about the mess that he voted for?
UPDATE: Hanania has admitted voting for Trump was a mistake.
Original Post below:
So, for the past two months, Hanania has been a strong critic of the Trump administration. He's criticized the tariffs, the RFK appointment, defunding science research, the crypto scams, the list goes on.
These are all valid, of course, but how can Hanania complain when these issues come from the candidate that he voted for?
He says it here himself: Hating Modern Conservatism While Voting Republican
Some choice quotes:
...mostly due to historical contingency, we live in one of those relatively rare societies where [conservatism] is associated with more pro-market policies.
Democrat judges, political appointees, and politicians default to 'do something,' while Republicans default to 'do nothing,' or, if they’re feeling ambitious, 'undo what has been done.' The conservative approach is usually better.
In this election, one side threatens democracy and the other threatens capitalism. My sympathy towards Republicans is based on my belief that capitalism is simply much more important, and also a lot more fragile.
...there’s no doubt that they [Republicans] have a long way to go before being as bad as the other side [Democrats on being anti-market].
This one's my personal favorite:
On foreign policy, Trump will likely support Ukraine
Reading all of this stuff is so laughable in light of recent events. Has Hanania walked back all of this rhetoric? If not, how can you take this guy seriously?

Why the hell are we throwing every international ally we have under the bus for no reason?
