The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
The number of idiots and monsters still in MAGAcult is way too damn high.
There are fewer of them, but they consistently show up. The other side, however, is capricious and wont act simply to prevent a criminal from taking the wh. I literally dont know which is worse for the country, and that scares me.
It should. There should be no question about it. But the loyalists will still vote for the world to burn.
Don’t forget all the purity ponies and the low-info that won’t bother to vote for equally stupid reasons.
It gets much worse in coming months.
2027 budget cuts 10% from non-military, requests $600B more permanent military. Adds $200B special funding to rebuild from Iran fiasco.
Getting a peace deal with Iran with just nuclear and SoH demands will need $100B in commitments to pay Iran.
No peace deal, just leave, will put GCC allies in Iran/China camp instead of US. Zionazi congress, led by GOP, will push for more Israel gifts. Controlled DNC opposition, Schumer, will get primaried and lose their zionazi purpose.
Asian colonies will need to get closer to China to have access to oil.
Giving Europe colonies freedom (NATO exit threats), will worsen US economic perfromance. World in general will move away from oil/NG use, that the US is all in on.
Best chance for GOP is to impeach Trump/Hegseth.
You don’t amass 6 bankruptcies by not going all in on a pair of 2s very often.
I’ve been seeing these type of headlines of Republican “fear” of losing elections due to the horrible shit they do when they are in power. The money behind Republicans don’t care. It’s built into the plan. Republicans just hunker down, switch to obstructionsm to limit undoing the damage they caused and wait for the voters to get fed up with the lack of change and blame the party in power (not the party that created the situation and is preventing it from changing). Then they find themselves back in power and continue burning the world and push for every more oppression.
Can we just stop doing this? It’s exhausting. I just want healthcare. My money to stop blowing people up across the world. And stop fucking with other countries.
I don’t give a shit what the midterms news is. Go vote. And keep people voting.
The magas I know are ecstatic about the war with Iran. They’re also the most vocal about the gas prices. Completely unable to link the two together.
They won’t attempt to stop doing the things the country hates, however…
Democrats will take office on Jan 2nd and announce the need to compromise with Moderate Republicans about three days later. They’ll pass enormous bailouts for the tech industry, a marginally increased spending package for ICE and the Pentagon, a massive tax cut plan for middle class people with over $40k in auto loans, the Joe Manchin Memorial Coal Energy Independence Act, and then advance the “Act to Declare Donald Trump a Naughty Boy” which… gosh darnit… we just can’t get it out of committee because we don’t have the votes!
Nonetheless, Democrats will declare that they outsmarted Trump, by tricking him into signing the “Make Israel Great Again” Act. And we’ll hit a bipartisan consensus on adding antisemites to the concentration camps. Also, Elon Musk will be given a trillion dollars, in a bag, out the back of the Capital Building. Please don’t ask how or why.
I will be called a Russian bot for predicting this.
Worry about their seat and not about the war crimes
That’s a bit unfair - those schoolgirls lived a very long way from America, and they didn’t even speak English!
“Oh no!!! All these evil things im doing are costing me my job! If only there was a way for me to not have that happen! But I love evil things!”
The midterms will be decided by no mail-in voting and ICE at every polling place. Red Wave.
Iran and Epstein simply exposed Republicans and Trump as garbage people
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
No shit, Dipshit. Everybody already knew it was going to be a bloodbath, now it’s going to be even worse. Also, now the states are on guard against any election interference, even Red states. MAGA is going to be heavily screwed after the Midterms.
Impeach EVERYBODY!
Don’t believe it for a second. This is just like all those articles of people walking out of Trump rallies during the end of the last election.
MAGA goons are still chugging that Kool-Aid.
It’s from Politico… so…
We elected oldest sitting president in American history because dumb fuckers in fly over states would shit themselves at the site of a brown person.
I’m not gonna let anyone give me hope, least of all someone close to the White House.
Shall we count our unhatched chickens?
