    I recently saw a Twitter thread where a MAGA guy was complaining that Trump wasn’t doing what he promised and that both parties are the same.

    Then one of the replies said something along the lines of “So we should have voted Kamala instead?” which kicked off an argument

    and for a brief moment I experienced a sort of Twilight Zone where I saw the usual “Leftist vs Liberal” conversation play out between MAGA guys and Neocons instead.

    It was an incredible experience.

    Judging by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Margery Taylor Green, I think even conservatives are getting tired of this war shit. They just want to oppress and deport people at home without the constant foreign policy interruptions lol.

      Yeah I don’t think the isolationist MAGA types are quite getting the message squared with the evangelical warmonger types.

      It’s gonna be really funny if American involvement in the Zionist Entity’s affairs is interrupted by Trump trying to make Tucker Carlson say nice things about him

      That’s why I think he actually got the answer he wanted with this poll. His use of “Israels war” places the responsibility with them and doesn’t attempt to add any sort of moral or emotional weight to the question as something like “should we help defend Israel against Iran” or “Should the US get involved in stopping Iranian nuclear development” would.

        True. I wasn’t sure which way Charlie Kirk landed on that spectrum but judging by the way it’s worded, I can certainly guess now.

    I hate the implication that the US isn’t already involved. Pissrael has always been a US proxy state, armed and unconditionally supported by the US, and the US has been itching to attack Iran for the last 40 years. The US is involved in this war and has been from the start.

    Kirk actually opposes war with Iran, so I think he’s quite happy with this result. He, Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Steve Bannon have all been vocal in their opposition to getting involved in this conflict.

    I wonder if his face hates his head or his head hates his face.

    All I know is one of them isn’t happy and is determined both should look miserable.
