    There are only 535 Americans’ opinions that might matter, and only if they have enough support to not only pass a law revoking the President’s war authority, but upholding the inevitable veto. I’m not holding my breath.

    I think regime change in Iran is important. At the same time, I can’t help but feel the US is not doing this out of altruism, but out of opportunism.

    It is the same damn story every time. We know that MAGAs only constitute 30-40% of Americans. It is the shitty US election system and more which enables them to completely rule the country despite being a minority. They will never have a majority in anything, and there will always be a majority disliking what Trump and his fascists does.

    “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

    It frustrates me beyond words that we can’t even get 51% of Americans to agree on something like this, which I think is so obvious. But, that’s where we are as a country. I suppose I need to have enough wisdom to accept that.
