But it's now below 30%, at least in that one poll (which is a Fox News poll no less). That's kind of amazing. I thought he would never drop below about 33% in any of these polls because of those fanatical cult members.

It having dropped to 29% is actually a big deal. And it's probably what's setting klaxons off in the GOP and seeing the administration frantically try to simultaneously bribe and disenfranchise voters.

There's political blood in the water.

It's actually a good point, ending it probably is something Russia & China would be in favour of, but that doesn't make it wrong...

It's an unjust war started by a narcisstic moronic fascist, but that doesn't make the Iranian leadership any less of a toxic dictatorship.

Yeah they've always been the real controllers of the party, congrats to stupid rednecks and their fell for it again award

We have sanctions on Russia? Didn't Trump try to block all of those?

Some sure are, regardless of how they are dealing with the cognitive dissonance, trying to blame someone else or just not think about it or some platitude like "well I don't agree with EVERYTHING he does...", no one outside of a pretty small circle actually APPROVE.

I mean, Biden does get his fair share of blame here for slow-walking negotiations with Iran among other things. He obviously didn't start the war, but his choices led to prolonging the post-JCPOA situation where such a war was even possible. That doesn't excuse Trump, you know, starting the damn war, but there's plenty of blame to go around.

The opposition to Zionist Israel has been growing slowly for a long time. I only learned about it in 2011 (though it wasn't difficult to convince me that Israel and the US support was out of line).

Gas prices are immediate consequences. Its damn near impossible for people outside the US to know how vital car ownership is. As an example, I have a close friend who has split custody of her child, but the dad lives about a 45 minute drive away in a very tiny town. No buses or trains (not even tracks) between the two. And a 45 minute drive on highways at 65mph. (No she didnt support the war before this FYI).

This is considered "nearby." I have a friend with a 140 mi round trip commute. My parents are a 20 minute drive away. A large chunk of the rest of my family is a 9 hour drive away. Buses, trains, bikes, its all not a thing we can do.

Gas prices isn't about the cost to drive. Gas prices directly impact our entire lives. (Thank fuck I have an EV now).

In a lot of ways it was kinda inevitable from a cultural point of view. A lot of support for Israel has been historically driven by the Holocaust but as multiple factors have changed over the decades the direct support originating from the Holocaust and leading to Israeli support has slowly dried up. Between Israel being a genocidal shithole, the Holocaust fading into secondary memory, and the Holocaust being recognized as not just a Jewish but something that effected basically every minority have caused some of the collapse in support we've seen.

Note I am not trying to underplay the horrors of the Holocaust and how much energy was focused on the Jewish people, I am simply lacking in the verbage required to not sound like a bit of a dick.

Also the interconnected nature of the modern world makes Israels actions far more upfront and harder to suppress, we are far along from Jack Churchill making comments on the viciousness of it all but him being ignored.
