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 fallacy above is the Tolerance of Intolerance. Democrats, up until this presidency, generally respected the rule of law. There has been nothing close in any of their behavior.
When the “other” is an identity formed through place of birth, race, or cultural upbringing, I agree that extermination is a horrific thing that serves as a warning bell. But when the “other” is an intentional ideology formed through mature, conscious decision as a functioning adult, especially when it originates from boundless hatred, I don’t see any particular issue in full, total extermination of its source.
methods of extermination matter. Did you ever try to train an animal? Did you exterminate one for not listening? Do you know anyone who did exterminate animals for bad behaviour and put it on their resume? Do you want to be like them? Ideas and movements do not grow in a vacuum. Uneducated underpaid masses will find the most unpleasant outlet for their anger. Mainstream Democrats will not resolve that issue and those same Democrats will choke off any progressive agenda. So it’s a hydra, you cut off one head only to get two staring back at you. Extermination of effect solves absolutely nothing. So, you were saying?
