I could bet a good buck that the plan is to give in to Russia. It's what every Republican wants for whatever mysterious reason.
70% of Republican voters stand with Ukraine
100% of Republican voters support someone who insulted the parents of a killed soldier on a national stage and has secret buddy-buddy meetings with the person invading Ukraine. The fuck should we care what they think?
He also withheld aid to Ukraine in an attempt to get dirt on his opponent. Literally what part of his impeachment trial was about.
Not 100%
I'm not voting for Trump
Thank you. I'm glad you exist.
I'm not voting for senile either. NEITHER ARE FIT FOR OFFICE. it's sickening. 🤮
One is old and unlikeable.
The other is old and unlikeable and a rapist and a felon and wants to end democracy.
You get to set your own priorities.
So they will vote for a party that supports Ukraine, right?
(X) DOUBT
Not enough to affect the way they vote apparently. Or punish their candidates in primaries. Or push for change through the party apparatus. Or or or.
hey now! they care about justice and world order and protecting people from bullies
just not as much as bullying queers and court orders against abortions and justice for… not being christian?
You had me going in the first part, I admit.
Fun fact: you're being intentionally misleading
Nope there was a survey recently, that showed a clear majority among Republican voters support Ukraine.
Unfortunately that is not the case for Trump and the crazy MAGA crowd. And they are the ones running the show.
Some of them are probably also delusional enough to believe Trump will help Ukraine with the peace plan Trump claims to have. Despite every sane person knows Trump will just demand Ukraine to yield, because they are not getting any more help.
Of course the support for Ukraine is bigger among Democrat voters, but that doesn't change that there also is a clear majority among Republican voters.
Yeah, I'll admit I've been hearing too much Alex Jones on Knowledge Fight. He seems to speak for the great majority of conservatwats so I assumed.
I'm not sure where you got the figure from but I looked it up and the polling seems messy. But I guess 3/4 of Republicans having an unfavorable view of Putin as reported by PBS is something that doesn't make me lose hope in humanity today. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-adults-split-along-party-lines-in-support-for-ukraine-military-aid-ap-norc-poll-finds
Editing to add these pretty graphs by Pew Research that show nothing surprising: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/08/views-of-ukraine-and-u-s-involvement-with-the-russia-ukraine-war/
Entertainment for idiots.
Oh, definitely. That's the sole reason Knowledge FIght exists!
Hey, a policy wonk!
Red alert, red alert! I NEED MONEY
Do us policy wonks have a working community in the fediverse btw? Been stumbling about a few mentions lately
Now that's a good idea!
Does Bluesky count? It’s practically overrun with the brookings crowd.
It's not possible to vote for Trump and support Ukraine at the same time. These are polar opposites.
Nobody said they were smart.
