More than half of Americans, including one in four Republicans, think President Donald Trump is “too closely aligned” with Russia, as he radically realigns U.S. foreign policy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

    Jaysus. 12% of this country thinks that we should control Gaza for tourism.

    And the other ideas, JFC. They are even higher. WTF.

    I mean, it’s like no one fucking remembers Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? What about Russia’s Afghanistan, or FFS, their experience with Ukraine right now? I mean, even forgetting about the morality of it, these things tend not to work out.

      Apparently not, I have seen MAGAites seriously advocating for an invasion of Mexico or advocating for an invasion of Iran.

        I used to joke about invading Mexico about a decade ago because of how preposterous it was. My family really thought it was a good idea then, and they have gone full MAGA since.

          I recently replayed the story of GTA5, and some of the jokes they were making in 2013 are reality now. “Invading Canada for water” comes to mind, and the “detained illegal immigrants using their one phone call to call their home country to warn people to stay the fuck out of the US because it’s worse here” also hits kinda hard.
