It's surprising how this administration consistently keeps rolling 1s on a D20.
what's surprising is that people think 1) they give a shit, and 2) that they're not 100% manipulated by foreign influence. Israel and Russia completely own MAGA. Every decision they make re: foreign policy looks like it is straight out of Foundations of Geopolitics or Netanyahu's fever dreams.

I know I know. I think most people wouldn't blame any one individual American voter. This specific issue isn't even left vs right in any case.
