    TRUMP attacked Iran. The rest of us want nothing to do with it. Only about 6 people support this war, and all of them are MAGA traitors

      Trump won the popular vote. Period. You can’t have your country elect a pedonazi and then pretend like he is not your democratically elected president. He always have at least 40% of the population approval. He’s the potus and represents the US.

        No he didn’t, he cheated, and EVERYBODY knows it! This ridiculous idea that the only time in his entire life that he didn’t cheat on anything was the one election that he had to win to avoid a life sentence in prison, and he had the assistance of his two best friends Putin and Musk with the best financed and experienced hacking teams on the planet, but he chose to play it “Fair & Square,” because that’s the kind of guy he is.

        Anyone who believes that deserves to get conned.

          I’d like to believe you but do you have any kinf of proof that this happened? Otherwise it would be just like him, whem he claims h won against Biden. I have no doubt that he will cheat, now that he is president, but I don’t think he did at the last election. Maga is a real thing, half of the US is facsist.

        This may come as a shock to you, but he wasn’t unanimously voted in as president. There are tens of millions of us that actively voted against him. Those that did and do support him can’t pretend like this isn’t the consequences of their actions, but the rest of us sure as shit can.

        Even among the traitors and idiots that did vote for him, even the majority of those don’t agree with his war in Iran.

        Have you have lived somewhere where you didn’t agree with your democratically elected official? It’s possible to be critical of that person’s actions and not be culpable for them.

        Unfortunately, you are correct that he does represent the US, and that’s damage that will probably outlast my lifetime, but representation doesn’t mean reflection, and his actions don’t reflect the majority opinion in the US right now.

          I voted in every election in my province/county for the past 20 years and none of the party I’ve voted for have ever been elected. I don’t like either of my Prime Ministers, federal and provincal, but they have been democratically elected and are my representatives. trump his your president, stop acting like he’s not and fix your own mess.

            I explicitly stated that he does represent the US, but that many of us didn’t vote for him or support him. Both can be and are true. We don’t want a war in Iran, but as you’ve pointed out, Trump was democratically elected, and there are processes to stop the war. Unfortunately, it’s not anything we can kick off as citizens.

            There are protests, but when your healthcare and that of your family is tied to your employment, missing work to protest is a good way to not have a job, income, or healthcare. It’s not a simple as, “make change happen”.

            Generalizing an entire population is a weak and shitty argument. You can do it if you want, but it just makes you look narrow minded and out of touch with how the world actually works.

            The whole point is that the entire US doesn’t want a war with Iran and most don’t, even those that voted for Trump in hindsight don’t want it. They fucked us and got the country to this point, but war with Iran isn’t a popular opinion regardless of past actions.

        All true, but It’s all about perspective. Trump won the election promising repeatedly that he wouldn’t start new wars, and would in fact end wars.

        And depending on which polls you follow, the approval rating for the attacks on Iran are as low as 27% (Reuters/Ipsos, March 2026). But all polls conclude that the majority of US citizens do not support the war.

        So this is definitely not something the US voters directly signed up for. Voting for a president is not a mandate for that president to operate on wholesale deception.

            The only good thing about his first term was he didn’t start new wars and he did, obliquely, end the war in Afghanistan with his petty checkmate Biden penultimate act in office.

            Americans should have known he was a lying liar who lies but that part was true at the time.

      The US state attacked Iran. They have been planning this since 1979. I do not blame American people for it. But putting the blame on only Trump lets the real culprits escape from questions unscathed.
