If there's anything that Trump supporters can't criticize, it's the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump first wanted it done by Christmas 2020 (via tweet!) and then May 2021.
Eh, just call 'em jockstraps.

Honestly, I'm not sure people who are willing to hear the Taliban out are salvageable.
President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that he spoke on the phone to a Taliban leader, making him the first U.S. president believed to have ever spoken directly with the militant group responsible for the deaths of thousands of U.S. troops in nearly 19 years of fighting in Afghanistan.
Trump said the United States has a shared interest with the Taliban, which harbored al-Qaida before the 9/11 attacks.
“We had a very good conversation with the leader of the Taliban today, and they’re looking to get this ended, and we’re looking to get it ended. I think we all have a very common interest,” Trump said. “We had, actually, a very good talk with the leader of the Taliban.”

You live in a bubble. You just admitted it.
Have you even addressed that it was Trump who made the deal with the Taliban?
Because George Bush and Dick Cheney set up an invasion and occupation in 2001/2002 to try and distract from the fact that they ignored the intelligence that bin Laden was determined to attack with in the United States. Biden is stuck clean up their mess 20 years later and it’s fucking messy.

Unforced error that will cost innocent lives needlessly.
The decision to withdraw all forces isn't the issue here, it's the execution and failure to plan for a quick, aggressive Taliban move into Kabul.

Question for those smarter than me: why did the US abandon the Bagram air base in favor of the Kabul airport?

How is Biden solely to blame for that instead of the poor intelligence on the ground, the soldiers who couldn’t fight off the Taliban, and the generals who apparently got out schemed.
Biden set the date for withdrawal. I presume he agreed to a plan the brass came up with that apparently they couldn’t execute.

the brass didn't want a full withdrawal
