Most Republicans are not turning on Trump, true. But it doesn't take more than ~5% switching from Republican to Democrat, to make Republicans never win a national election again.
Looking in from Europe, the immovability of US voters is quite bizarre to me. Most people I know don't have being a "Republican" or similar as part of their personal identity.
The Iranians essentially practicing piracy in the strait is unambiguously counter to international law (UNCLOS), and breaks one of the fundamental elements of how world diplomacy has worked in the modern world. What the Iranians are doing is in fact an act of war against all nations which ships the Iranian stop.
Countries like those in the EU are keeping a low profile right now, because Trump has made such a giant mess of the diplomacy. But long term, I can't imagine they will let this fly.
Also, the law to release the files was pushed through by the Democrats.
Even if we find out there is a Democrat in the files, that does not mean the Democrat party as a whole is irredeemably compromised. Bad apples can and will exist everywhere, the problem is only when the organization doesn't try to remove them. By passing the law to release the files, the Democrat party is doing exactly that.
The damning thing for the Republican party is their coverup of the files.
Yup. 79% of Republicans approve of how Trump is handling the Iran War. No reasonable and informed person can hold that opinion - we are not dealing with serious people here.
Stuff is just getting more expensive, because of demand competition with AI. There is no reason to think that production for non-AI computing will ever hit literally zero.
Trump apparently took the decision to go to war against Iran ignorant of the Iranian threat to close the Hormuz straight. Even I knew Iran would do that.
The whole reason to go to war with Iran was to stop the Iranian nuclear program... which Trump himself cancelled Obama's deal to stop.
Harris would not have been Bibi's little removed.
There is no reason to think that Harris would have gone to war with Iran.
Dems/Repubs will happily play hot potato together forever,
Well, yes, there is a perverse incentive here. It sucks.
Basic math and game theory still means that voting third party is self-destructive, in the current US climate.
But I have actually been surprised by how fluid the UK system is right now. They have third parties, in a FPTP system. But the slavish Republicans voters seems to make that not viable in the US.
