Conquering Russia should be done steppe by steppe.

You might hate Americans, American values, westerners, western civilization, men, non-muslims, whites, free speech, rural people, families, gun owners, factory workers, business owners, people who prefer English, or Christians.
Nope. I just prefer reality-based policy positions.

Trump has accepted the reality of Jerusalem being Israel's capital.
Trump has accepted the reality that our terrorists tend to have arrived via the "diversity lottery" or "chain migration", or were born to parents who arrived that way.
Trump knows the reality of regulation is that it strangles business; slashing regulations has made a major impact.
Trump knows that in reality the Paris accords were giving a huge economic advantage to the rest of the world while doing very little for the environment.
...
I could go on, but this gets silly and repetitive. Meanwhile...
Reality does not support the liberal viewpoint. That takes us toward socialism and ultimately communism. This killed over 100 million people in the previous century. Every time, we're told that things will be different and we'll get a worker's paradise. It's time to accept reality: that shit doesn't ever work.

Resulting in riots and several deaths. I'm sure that's going to lead to peace. [thesun.co.uk]

Nope. Most terrorist attacks committed in the last 10 years were by domestic right-wingers. [independent.co.uk]

Economic growth was greater under Obama that it has been under Trump. [americanprogress.org]

Completely toothless yet resulting in huge economic disadvantages, nice doublethink.

Non-acceptance of Jerusalem's status is one of many factors blocking peace. Palestinians who are uninterested in peace may lash out; this is temporary. Oh... not that peace is a requirement when dealing with a horrible culture. Accepting reality does not necessarily mean that there will be peace or that peace is even a goal.
Domestic right-wingers essentially don't commit terrorism. You're counting random murders. Your article even admits that Muslims alone, not even including the left-wingers, have killed the most people.
Obama had 8 years. A president damn well ought to do more in 8 years than in 1 year. Economic growth took off the day after Trump got elected, which unjustly helps Obama look good. Obama said 3% growth was fantasy, but now that we're at 4% he wants to claim credit for what he said was impossible. We currently have the lowest level of Hispanic unemployment in the history of our nation, and the lowest level of black unemployment in 20 years. Accept reality: Trump's policy is superior to Obama's policy.
