Sometimes the bad thing is exactly as bad as the thing seems and trying to tell people "it's not that bad" isn't being *postive,* it's just normalizing the incredibly bad thing.

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.”
This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.”
Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.
