    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.

        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.

                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.

        (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.

          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/

        It’s not possible to vote for Trump and support Ukraine at the same time. These are polar opposites.
