Support was particularly strong among voters planning to support Republican candidates for Congress, where agreement reached 87%, compared with just 7% who disagreed. Even among voters still undecided about their congressional vote, the statement won majority support at 51% to 29%. The results also show meaningful support among several key demographic groups.

    –Eats, lives and breathes killing and fostering mayhem and wishes the number one thing in the world to happen is to destroy Israel and destroy the U.S. Iran whack job leaders get up every morning to have another bowl of “Death To America” cereal. And their leader

    –wants to foster a world wide war because that sucks the U.S. into a middle east war and this mayhem will bring back Uncle Mo.

    –Spends billions on supplying Hamas, Hezbollah, the Hoopies, the Herpes, the Hemorrhoids, The Halitosis and every other H named group in the middle east to wage war and kill as many innocent civilian people as they can

    –spends billions to develop weapons grade uranium that they have no real need to have

    –spends billions to develop drones and missiles to launch at everyone and anyone despite the fact that none of their Muslim neighbors have any desire to attack Iran

    So the U.S. (with all of the other overwhelmingly muslim countries in the middle east privately supporting this idea) says to Iran stop being a dickhead. You have to stop trying to build weapons grade uranium and not build ICBM issues and drones to attack all your neighbors. And also stop jacking up and supplying weapons to all the Hamas, Hezbollah, Hoopies, etc. to be whack-job-er-whack-ies.

    To which Iraq says “NO” we have to have the nuke weapons developed so we can bully everyone and shoot a few nikes at Israel to destroy and kill millions of them. And to destabilize the whole Middle East and the world and kill lots of civilians.

    And so Iran…

    –launches missiles and drones by the hundreds (thousands?) against targets in Jewish Israel, and bases and ships where U.S. Christian are, and willy nilly on any (military of civilian) targets in all the overwhelmingly MUSLIM countries surrounding Iran (none of whom is threateing to attack or invade Iran), and even missile strikes against Cyprus owned by fellow sorta Muslim semi-majority Britain.

    –and to show how they are the good guys, Iran closes off the George Strait of Hormuz choking off 1/4 of the world’s oil supply to many other parts of the world.

    –and the nutjob leaders of Iran also slaughters 20,0000 of their own people who dare to take to the streets to peacefully protest the Iranian regime.

    –and Iran whack job leaders have a very repressive regime that greatly reduces person freedom for women, LBGTQEIEIUs, etc.

    BUT, 99% of the D party leaders support Iran and hope Iran wins and defeats the U.S. because Trump is the president.

    And 99% of Dems in Congress continue to vote to shut down funding for Dept. of Homeland Security which includes border security and airport security. At a time when Iranian and other Muslim “religion of peace” nutjobs are out there looking for ways to avenge the attack on Iran that killed the supreme nut job Ayatoldya.

    Because 99% of D leaders in Washington and various state capitols do not give a good sh!t about the American CITIZENS who ELECTED them.

    99% of the elected Ds in the U.S. cannot bring themselves to support Trump’s actions against Iran. Nor could them bring themselves to support Trump on his efforts to reduce inflation. Nor Trump;s action to snatch VZ dictator out of there. Nor Trump admin efforts to round up and deport criminal illegals aliens.

    Because the Ds want to win the election in November and keep Trump from achieving success for the American people. The Ds HATE the idea of “Make America Great Again”.

    To the Ds MAGA is the #1 enemy…not radical Muslims, not crime, not unsecured borders, not inflation, not problems in the education system, or judicial system, or transportation system, or economy, or social structure issues.

    The number one enemy that knocked them out of control–TWICE–was Trump and his knuckle dragging supporters.
