The US says North Korea is evil because they use torture, but the US also tortures.
The US says Russia is evil because they invade foreign countries, but the US also invades foreign countries.
The US says Iran is evil because they might develop nuclear weapons, but the US also develops nuclear bombs.

Both liberals and conservatives support endless wars, debt, and tyranny. What's the difference?
Once again, the essential antecedents of war are being established based on anonymous “experts” and “officials,” and hardly anyone notices, much less pushes back.
One wonders if US wars lead to terrorism, refugees, debt, and tyranny.
Lock Up Hillary!!!....Umm, I was just kidding.
Drain the Swamp!!!.....actually not really.
Send Back Illegal Immigrants!!!!.....Hmm....about that...just a catch phrase.
Build a Wall and Mexico Pays For It!!......might have been a little hyperbole there.
Seeing a pattern here? Usually the public has to wait a few years before they realize everything promised in the campaign was a lie. Trump supporters got to face that reality before he even took office.

If Muslims are just homicidal maniacs who kill people for no reason then why aren't they bombing Peru?
Libertarians and anarchists often get challenged with an annoying question. If libertarianism is so great, why hasn’t any country tried it?
We have a great answer to that question. America was extremely libertarian from the founding until 1860, and still very libertarian until roughly 1930.
Until 1860, total government spending was less than 5% of GDP. Today it’s nearly 40%. So the US was much more libertarian in its early days. It stayed mostly under 10% until World War I and close to 10% until the 1930s.
Spending is not the only way to look at it. The country was far less regulated then. Occupational licensing was trivial until maybe 1950 or later. The average individual in the early 1800s had little interaction with government on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. There was no income tax and relatively few other taxes. In some places, like the frontier, life was arguably anarchic for decades.
What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Your taxes pay for illegal immigrants, debt, war, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm.
Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
