Trump has promised repeatedly to keep the strait open. This is very much his problem.
Will things get more expensive here? Very likely. Still better value than sending thousands of British troops on another pointless adventure in the Middle East at the behest of a war mongering yank.
There’s also value in making him even less popular at home as this is very likely to do if it drags out with no clear end. If the dems got control of the both the senate and the house in November everyone probably would have to deal with less of his bs. Even better if the majority becomes big enough for them to do more. There’s probably even a point where even his own party would start to finally distance themselves from him more.
We’re already seeing it. Donald has lost nearly every election in 2025 and 2026, and most are in districts he won by double digits in 2024.
This means that even if he wants to try to fight dirty, he really can’t, because clearly the Republican Party can’t accurately project which districts will be safe in 2026. The downside of all this is that it’s not going to change a whole lot, because Dems are not going to elect 30 Mamdanis or Kat Abughazalehs, and that’s what we need if we want actual opposition.
If they do distance themselves over this then everyone over there in the uNazied States of america needs to not let them forget that they were ok with all the child raping he did over the years, the blatant lies and corruption (…plus everything else, which is too much to mention here).

It’s a nice thought, but Donald and his ilk are never going to be held accountable in any meaningful way. Here, the people in power make sure there’s cover for the criminals, always. Hell, we didn’t even hold the Confederate generals meaningfully accountable and they killed 600,000 American soldiers.
Agreed, I don’t mean to suggest anyone should go back to viewing the Republicans as a normal political party if they do. It would be purely opportunistic on their part.
Good.
Trump started this.

Record high gas prices and dead soldiers going into midterms, let’s see how it works out for them.

Abso-fucking-lutely. It gives people cover to oppose him politically, which is desperately needed.
