While it can be annoying to digest the words if you aren't listening at the beginning of the sentence, English allows us to suggest to the listener what we are about to start speaking to them about. So if I said: "Walking down the street, Mary glimpsed a common face", then the listener would already understand halfway through the sentence that what is about to happen is taking place on a street to Mary. Instead of the reverse: "Mary glimpsed a common face walking down the street", here it isn't clear who's doing the walking, Mary or the face. It also sounds boring because the context is tacked on afterwards as opposed to the contextual statement behaving as an introduction to the scene, like it's supposed to.

Seriously, what do the people holding up Milo as a "right-winger" even truly disagree with him about? These are like minor doctrinal squabbles in the USSR, you're of the same cloth, under the same banner and speak the same tongue. All of your assumptions are the same, you essentially agree about all premises. I mean, besides not liking Trump, how are you any different on any level?
