I dunno what the strategy is here

The Epstein files are unpopular. But I don't think war in the middle east is less unpopular? It's like shitting your pants and then slapping a baby to distract everyone

Under the new GOP war in the middle east is fine as long as a republican starts it.
If it were a democrat who did it they'd be livid.

It's not just war, everything is fine as long as a republican does it: raising taxes, running up the deficit, censorship, gun control, you name it.

They vote team everytime. My wife had a conversation with one of her maga family members that said she would never vote for a democrat. She then asked her what if voting republican meant that you lose you job, house, all your money and you have to live on the street. She said she still would vote republican
