The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

. Explain to me how Trump launching the War on Iran is making a better world for any American, even a MAGA ?

Oh, on that I clearly agree that the War on Iran is a colossal blunder. And I expect even a lot of his supporters would agree. The war is intensely unpopular.

But I suspect that those supporters would then conclude that even with that colossal blunder, the country is better off on the whole having had Trump as President than Harris. Because even though that was a terrible choice, all the other things that Trump has done - and the things that a President Harris has not been able to do - are still vastly better at advancing what they think makes the country better.

I can see and admit when the Dems Eff up, doesn't bother me a bit. Running Biden for a 2nd term was a huge Eff up. MAGA is not emotionally mature enough to admit that Trump is an Effin Eff Up ?? Sorry, I'm not seeing how that is a reasonable and rational response to Current Events,lol.

That's a different question. You can recognize that Biden choosing to run again was a huge eff up, but it doesn't make you wish that you had voted for Trump in 2020 instead of Biden. A voter can think that the Iran war is a mistake....and also that the country is better off with Trump having won the 2024 election than Harris.
