If Donny Dealz does drag us into another war in the middle east, is that the death of MAGA or will the chuds triple down and say this is 4D3D3D3D Chess and refill your popcorn bucket because any second now white people will rule the world again?

    I don’t believe this anti-war coalition made up of racist republicans exists or has ever existed in any meaningful sense.

      Yeah I think it’s about as real as never-Trump Republicans were. You will never get the Republican base (or much of the Democrat base, for that matter) to meaningfully oppose bombing brown people.

      Remember all the anti-war Republicans that were so happy when Biden pulled troops out of Afghanistan?

        It exists, it makes up about 15-20% of the GOP base, which is 30-40% of the population of the US.

        245 million adult voters * 0.3 GOP * 0.15 = 11 million people conservatively.

        They are loud so you hear a lot from them on social media, but like I said, they are an extreme minority in their own party so they are effectively powerless and have like 1-2 senators they like. They’re about a third in size of the radical left probably, who also only have 1-2 politicians they kinda like in all of the establishment. The radical left however doesn’t vote very often or involve itself very much in domestic politics on the governmental level.
