Certain "news" outlets have trumpeted the absurd notion that '98% of MAGA voters support the war in Iran.' Needless to say, that number was pushed out by the White House.
Doesn't take more than 5 seconds' thought to realize that that number is ludicrous. Perhaps 98% of Lindsey Graham supports it.....or 98% of Likud. But that poll is grievously flawed.
Seventy-nine percent of Americans who voted for President Trump in 2024 would support him declaring victory in Iran and quickly ending this war, according to a new poll....
Oh.
...fewer than half of Trump voters surveyed said they strongly supported the U.S. decision to go to war with Iran (40%), 23% of Trump voters were somewhat or strongly opposed to it. And the emerging division among Trump voters over Iran is evident in the poll’s age crosstabs: while Trump voters overall support the Iran war by a +53 point margin, support is much more muted among young MAGA voters that are credited with helping deliver Trump the White House in 2024. Trump voters aged 18-29 support the war by a much narrower margin (+8), while Trump voters aged 30-49 support the war by +26 points....
There are those who think Trump is actually making huge moves on the chessboard which will result in the Europeans having to foot the bill for the free flow of oil and re-working alliances in the Middle East to isolate Persia/Iran.
Maybe. But maybe religion plays a much more significant role in alliances than Trump (and the old NeoCons) think. Maybe the Muslims will coalesce......against Israel.
Meantime, he's committed another 2500 Marines.
