Republicans tell Trump, ‘Destroy US economy, please destroy it’

 Republicans tell Trump, ‘Destroy US economy, please destroy it’

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 77% of Republican voters support Trump’s criminal war on Iran. Every one of them driving a car is now paying an extra buck per gallon for gas. That price will continue moving one way…up.

But the war they support will create much more economic chaos than gas prices. Unless ended soon on Iran’s sensible terms, it will raise the price of everything these Republican deadenders buy, pushing the US into recession along with the entire world. Maybe even Depression.

Why most Republicans support this madness will forever remain mystery. Are they gobbling up Trump’s deranged propaganda Iran was within a couple of weeks of nuking the homeland? Are they simply following any policy, no matter how senseless and self-destructive, cult leader Trump conducts? Do they love that Trump is slaughtering the ‘other’ in this case Shi’ite infidels in the hated country of Iran? Do they view the war as 47 yearlong retribution for Iran taking 66 US embassy hostages for 444 days? Are they so stupid they cannot connect Trump’s failed war to their looming economic destruction? Are they seeking End Times from the Middle East blowing up, raising them to heaven? Are they Israel Firsters supporting Israel’s master plan to wipe out Iran, its last hegemonic rival in the region?

Maybe all of the above.

And Democratic voters? Alas, they are not perfect. A whopping 6% also support the war. Maybe that 6% voting war support gave the wrong answer on party affiliation.
