A new survey has found that a record number of registered voters in the United States oppose the war on Iran and believe there is no strategy to end it.

A survey published on Thursday by Fox News found that 71 percent of voters believe the Trump administration “lacks a clear strategy” for ending the hostilities, which have helped to raise inflation and send fuel prices soaring.

But it's now below 30%, at least in that one poll (which is a Fox News poll no less). That's kind of amazing. I thought he would never drop below about 33% in any of these polls because of those fanatical cult members.

It having dropped to 29% is actually a big deal. And it's probably what's setting klaxons off in the GOP and seeing the administration frantically try to simultaneously bribe and disenfranchise voters.

There's political blood in the water.

For the first time ever those mouth breathing dimwits are feeling the consequences in a way that's easy to connect and immediately impactful to their life.

seeing the administration frantically try to simultaneously bribe and disenfranchise voters. That was always part of the plan.

Yep. If any of these dumbasses have to fill up their car on the regular, they cannot escape it. Especially if they are putting diesel in a truck, LOL.

The but-Biden-left-us-such-a-shitty-economy lie can only be sustained for so long. It cannot withstand diesel that is more than $6/gal, almost two years later, no matter how many times smug little assholes like Mike Johnson or Bessent look into the camera and repeat it as if it's just axiomatic truth that normal adults accept as a fact.

From my observation, a quarter to a third of population are always fanatical idiots. This can generally be observed across voting patterns in many countries.

Yes. And you can rely on those fanatics to turn up on voting day. But when a large percentage of the remainder decides not to vote, you get this crap. Whats the point of fighting for the right to vote if youre just gonna flush it because you dont like the choices?

Americans bewilder me.
