This is precisely the problem, if I interpret your response correctly. Just because someone doesn't oppose all ideas that someone has doesn't mean they support all ideas coming from that person.

You can support some ideas and oppose others. Blindly opposing someone on all fronts without critical consideration and some reflection on the idea itself is not very strategic or practical.

In fact, it can undermine your own opposition because you will find out very quickly that you oppose common-sense ideas and people will look at you like you're a little crazy.

> I’m on the outside, but I’ve never seen a single speech or talking point of his and thought “yeah, that’s a good idea”

Here are some:

- Challenging China on Trade & Industrial Policy

- NATO Burden-Sharing Pressure (forced EU to take defense spending commitment seriously and increase defense budgets)

- Criminal Justice Reform (reduced mandatory minimums for nonviolent offenses, expanded rehab and early-release programs)

- Operation Warp Speed

- Energy Independence Focus

- Deregulation Emphasis, especially for small business

- Abraham Accords

etc.

I also have a list of ideas that I think are terrible.

Point is to not be blind to what’s happening as much as possible. Difficult because you have to pick your news sources carefully and even then critically evaluate the reporting. There’s also emotional component etc.
