trump's base just goes for whatever he says now - perhaps in 2016/2017 they wouldn't, but it is a full on cult now

- techorange 2y agoNot if he puts boots on the ground. Having a relative die in a foreign war focuses people’s attention real fast. They may blame Biden somehow but
- corey_moncure 2y agoGosh could there be some kind of connection between Biden and the conflict in Ukraine?

- myko 2y agoYes, he did everything he could to prevent it - being mocked mercilessly by the rightwing for suggesting Putin might do what he eventually did. Biden did not do enough to kick Russia out, though. He should have given Ukraine everything they wanted, including a no-fly zone (and ideally Warthog support when Russia was stuck in the mud).
- tumsfestival 2y agoNah, they'd say it was god's will or some nonsense and pretend it's all right. A minority might even be completely fine with losses as long as their god emperor wins in the end and owns the libs.
- graublau 2y agoMaybe this passes as insightful in some circles but it's completely untrue when you consider how much of his base is currently fuming about weak Epstein annoucement and Israel more generally.
- mcphage 2y ago> it's completely untrue when you consider how much of his base is currently fuming about weak Epstein annoucement and Israel more generally Yeah, but they're not going to do anything about it.
- aparticulate 2y agoI am trying to express in good faith, I have found the Left to be generally less effective in dealing with grassroots criticism (it's seen as too populist). Trump will flip on an issue due to pressure from the frog guys. The Left are more dogmatic from top intellectuals, don't really listen to the base. Huge issue in the last elxn. Fixable though imo.
