Obama ran on a campaign of hope and "yes we can." How did you and the people you know react when he was elected in 2008?

Japan is known for its past far right imperialist history and not apologizing for war crimes. Its new leadership has no qualms about honoring shrines to war criminals, and is against same-sex marriage, transphobic, anti-immigrant, ethnic nationalist, sexist (wants to restrict abortion and remove women’s surnames), a far right party not too dissimilar from Germany’s AFD or France’s National Rally. Should liberals support strengthening the military of a country with such leadership?
Taxing the rich, antitrust on monopolies, Medicare for all, but not rent controls.
Less zoning regulations, subsidizing construction of housing, green infrastructure, public transit.
