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.

the wildest part is that they have this in writing in most states; they officially won't count mail in ballots of the election day results aren't within a certain percentage of each other.
These things drive me crazy ; mostly because most people who are politically active blithely ignore that
i thin that they disregard it because they lack the context to understand why it matters.
I think I was frustrated because nobody I talked to wanted to learn the context. Indeed, their entire political participation demanded they ignore it.
It took me a few years to understand it in that way.
And for the longest time I was mystified why the marginalized people could see it plainly while anyone who participated anywhere on the political spectrum : - from progressive to liberal to libertarian to mega to religious extremist , and the mainstream news - ignored the basics of democracy. It was to me, the most peculiar thing about American culture

It does and I suspect that the rumination explains it: https://lemmy.ml/post/44899941/24714966
