Snip:

US President Donald Trump’s own party has begun turning against his war on Iran, with Republican approval of his handling of the war plunging from 73 percent in March to 60 percent in September, according to a CNN/SSRS poll released on 22 September.

Among Republicans under 45 and those outside the MAGA movement, a majority now disapprove.

In total, three-quarters of US citizens say the war on Iran has not been worth its human or financial cost.

After nearly seven months into the war, 78 percent told CNN pollster SSRS that Trump is doing too little to end it, while almost two in three reject the idea that the US is winning.

Oh please, not like they’ll not vote for chuds. So Trump need not worry. Americans really really fucking love their GOP!

    they might actually stay home. the consensus analysis is that nobody can drive the trump cult but trump so we're expecting a lot of his 2024 bump to disappear anyway

    Huh. You know that's actually interesting. In Oklahoma I know tons of people who have to drive long distance to get to a polling place.

    Glad the anti mail in vote party shot itself in the foot.

    I mean I hate dems also, but I love watching Republican fuck ups.

    I recently saw an ad at the (European) cinema telling Americans they can vote from abroad. (You really can't escape American politics, it wasn't even an American film.)

    So what's actually the status of mail in voting?

    It's managed state by state. Some states have absolutely no mail-in voting, some states require you to declare a reason you can't go in-person (e.g., travel), and others will send you a ballot with no-questions-asked.

    Mail-in voting is technically legal, but Republicans have been working hard to gut it and to go as far as to destroy the mail system itself. One of the few things we have left in America. In some places, it's almost impossible to mail in vote unless you prove that it's the only way you can vote to the government. So it's on par with getting disability aid. Which requires a bunch of shit, and they still normally decline cause one guy will look you up and down and go, "you seem okay to me".

    I am old, Gandalf, very old. I remember when people were saying that the Republicans were finished after W. left the White House. And look what happened!

    there were a bunch of 2024 votes where they voted for trump and nothing at all down-ballot. it'll be a regression to pre-trump voting rates, minus the dead boomers and plus some andrew tate fans.

    hillary clinton saved the republican party
