The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
Shhh, don’t let the Dem supporters and Blue No Matter Who types hear this. They’ll say you voted for Trump personally.
Everyone outside the country knows Harris was an excellent candidate.
Saying “I voted republican because of the dems” is typical american behaviour.
That’s why you are where you are, but it’s not your fault, it never is.
You guys are saying that what Trump did to your country is because of the democrats?
If you’re not familiar with our politics then you don’t know how right you are. The Democrats have a strategy of giving Republicans rope to hang themselves. The “adults” of the Democratic party are encouraging self-harm.
vote them in
I voted Harris. So good strawman.
It’s not a strawman, they’re directly responding to what you said. Regardless of how you voted
Man, I came to Lemmy thinking I’d encounter less neo-liberals or those who apologize for them. It’s rather unfortunate really.
the word neo-liberal is propaganda forced onto you by people who have that kind of power over you
Neo-liberal is a political ideology, it’s not propaganda. Neo-liberals aren’t the left and I’m tired of them as well as their apologizers.
Good strawman
There’s one thing I do like about Lemmy at least.
I don’t remember saying you voted for him, and I already know nothing will ever be your fault, no need to remind me
I love backhanded insults. There’s only one good response for them.
Yep, and claim that we’re Russian bots and Propaganda Bots…all because we use facts. lol
