In a functioning society, there should be a huge political backlash just from him dragging us into this war. I’m going to be extremely surprised if I ever see a huge backlash to anything Trump has done though; he’s skated through his whole, privileged life without any consequences to his shitty decisions and now has a cult behind him to prop up his shitty decisions that are directly affecting us every day. I don’t think it’s ever going to sink in to his supporters, but I hope I’m wrong.

bush didn't get any backlash for afghanistan and iraq; nor did obama for libya and ukraine.

They didn’t make not starting any new wars a major part of their campaign promise though.

bush was voted in for a second term after starting those forever wars; americans don't care about foreign policy.

America has not been a democracy that counts votes accurately in federal elections.

It’s unknown who would have won, had that been the case, certainly not the two people running.
