And frankly, it is a bunch of cynical careerists and a lot of foreigners.

This war is extremely popular in Israel.

It's over 80 percent support in Israel.

It's under 30.

It's under 40 percent in the United States.

And as you mentioned, for any escalation, ground troops, et cetera, et cetera, it gets dismal.

It gets dismal from there.

Yeah.

I mean, I also, I think people are underrated to the degree to which Americans are increasingly independent, like literally registered independence.

I believe the numbers are approximating about 40%, depending on what surveys you believe.

So even if you see the polling of just quote Republican voters, it's a smaller and smaller slice of the country than ever before.

Same thing with Democrats, smaller and smaller slice of the country than ever before, at least in the modern era.

And so, you know, that's how you're going to get these wild swings where Trump can win a district and

by 11 to 15 points and lose it by five points less than 14 months later, less than 16 months later.

And so, you know, I would not be sitting pretty and sanguine in the White House that Trump is commanding a majority of Republican supporters on any given issue.

The reality is George W. Bush left the presidency at 22% approval rating.

What does that tell you?

Over half Republicans supported him, even as the economy tanked, and he lost two foreign wars.

It's just sort of the nature of partisanship.

Over 80% of Democrats backed President Joe Biden in June of 2024, and the Democratic leadership cooed him 30 days later.
