It's incredible how political compromises from centuries past have locked us into a system of representation that makes a complete mockery of the basic democratic principle of one person, one vote. Voting power is very uneven and only projected to get worse in the decades to come.

NoCoolNameMatt Mar 27, 2026 +65

It's maddening. Actually do nothing but harmful stuff, but then claim they do the opposite like, "pay down the national debt," or, "stand for family values," and they win big. You'd think people would eventually learn, but it's been working for half a century at this point.

It's crazy that there's an obvious downward spiral in this country including gas and grocery prices and new wars despite Trump winning by promising the opposite. The GOP owns all branches. And STILL, republicans will nod when Fox News tells them it's still the Dems fault

12

TurkeyBLTSandwich Mar 28, 2026 +1

Republicans found out very shortly after FDR they would never win an election unless they stoked fear and racial tension. They had communism for a while and after the soviets fell they needed to shift gears. After losing a few times they adopted the evangelicals and throwing millions in state elections. New York republicans would throw all their money in purple states like Iowa and Ohio and turn them solid red. Them they went after judges and now they've secured the Supreme Court for the next 40 or so years. Democrats just wanted what the republicans had which was big corporate sponsors and abandoned the base which supported them for decades. Now we have two pro business political groups with one thats about active harm and the other about harm reduction. Not great choices but the options are a slap to the face or stab to the abdomen

Imaginaryreality5304 Mar 27, 2026 +70

In all honesty, when have they really ever cared about the casualties? Outside of their fake performative displays for political purposes. They’ve historically had to pretend to care because of re-election efforts. But Trump has given them a climate where that no longer matters. Those who aren’t capable of jumping on the current bandwagon have decided to not seek re-election.

NewsgramLady Mar 27, 2026 +39

It's not crazy to me. It's so on par. All they care about is power and money. Disgusting cretins.

The gop has only ever pretended to care about the military when politically convenient

Pernapple Mar 27, 2026 +11

You knows what’s even scarier is that fear is likely not even true. I have such low confidence in right wing voters that I think they could start the nuclear holocaust and we’d still see 35% American approval. That is the hard base. Nothing they can do will shake them off. Worst case is they just don’t go vote but still carry the seats through gerrymandering

11

BreakOffWu Mar 27, 2026 +9

They use troops for corporations enrichment and corporations help reelect them into power. It's a closed loop that american citizens are no longer a-----part of their own government just 317 million bodybags used to generate wealth and repopulate to throw away whenever necessary on whatever enemy they deem is a threat to itself never to the citizens. Look at how they deregulated so many corporations standards and how much people are suffering from food issues to car warranties etc. We are no more than livestock used and abused whenever they deem.

Chemical-Fault-7331 Mar 27, 2026 +22

I don’t mean to paint with broad strokes here, but when you have a legislative body where the majority do not have military service, they simply will not care about the loss of military life. So may congressman just don’t care.

22

MRG_1977 Mar 27, 2026 +9

This is correct. It’s not their kids or families either. It’s like people, especially bullies, who talk tough until they catch a real beating. Hard enough to really bleed or break something.

Bittererr Mar 27, 2026 +6

Congress are veterans at a rate of three~ times the general population. If you're saying that not being a veteran means you don't care about people in the military then Congress cares a lot more than the average American.

6

MRG_1977 Mar 27, 2026 +4

Yet their behavior is nearly always to their detriment. Trump administration is trying to reclassify disability benefits to make it more difficult to qualify at present levels. That’s just one. Give you a host of other examples too especially in regard to when you are out of the service or the crappy housing and pay when you are in the service.

IdkAbtAllThat Mar 27, 2026 +5

And also I really thought they understood how stupid their base was. They won't lose 60 seats. Those people were ok with child r***. I really don't think a few thousand dead soldiers is going to make them leave the cult.

5

Black-Zero Mar 27, 2026 +3

That party ONLY cares about themselves. If an issue does not affect them personally they just agree with whatever the party tells them. Raping children...ok as long as it is not my kids. Killing people on the street...ok as long as it is not my people. Violating peoples rights...ok as long as my rights are protected. And so on.

ParabolicHyperbole Mar 27, 2026 +124

Not when he tampers with your election and refuses to acknowledge any losses. Remember how Americans have found out their democracy is just a series of gentleman's agreements? You think he's going to be gentlemanly and just let the Democrats take the House and Senate? America is going to be right back to January 2020 if he doesn't just manage to just totally screw the election, but now he controls all the levers of power and he won't acknowledge any wins that take away his power. He's had anyone who isn't a loyalist removed from any position that could thwart him. If he refuses to recognize the election, America is going to be in a lot of trouble.

Exactly the kind of person who needs to lose his seat. We also need way more than 435 in the house. we need to get the reapportionment act of 1929, get more members sonee can have real conversations, not living on emotional appeals and aound bites.

We aren’t going to have normal midterm elections. That’s been crystal clear for months now and the SAVE Act is just one part of that strategy. Trump knows if loses the House it will be an endless stream on Congressional committee investigations, roadblock to any legislation, etc. The only question to me is how far is Trump and the immediate people around him willing to go including stirring or using actual state violence.

3

Vortagaun Mar 27, 2026 +1263

EddieVanzetti Mar 28, 2026 +30

The DNC and the RNC were both hacked in 2016. The Russians only leaked DNC data. Every Republican who took NRA donations has blood rubles in the pockets, and theres plenty who've done a lot worse. "Live boys or dead girls" as the saying goes.

30

Floreat_democratia Mar 28, 2026 +1

This. Trump's cabinet is designed to have only people with skeletons in their closet so he can manipulate them. The situation is in fact much worse than that. I've posted before on how bad it is. Most people just don't understand what is actually happening. The rumor is that Trump hasn't just blackmailed his colleagues. The gossip on the hill that has been making the rounds for some time is that Republicans are afraid for their own lives and those of their families due to persistent and ongoing threats to do what Trump wants them to do. That may be of no surprise to you and I, after all, that's what you get when you let a mafia boss and overt fascist run the highest office. But, I don't think the public truly understands the depth of the criminal capture of the White House and what that means for the future.

LionTigerWings Mar 27, 2026 +67

They’re not worried about him. They’re worried about the maga base. Trump will campaign against them to hurt them 2 ways. 1) kill their career 2)get death threats for their family from maga crazies. Killing their career is probably the biggest thing. If maga abandons them, no one else will come to their rescue in terms of voting block.

This is exactly what happened after J6. These Maga terrorists have been pardoned and part of heavily armed white nationalist paramilitary groups. If these Republicans decide to grow a spine they’ll have to clean up lot of the base and institutional infiltration by these terrorists including the courts.

3

SillyMoxie Mar 28, 2026 +4

Exactly. It’s a complete capture of the party. They’ve built a system where the base is more loyal to the individual than the institution, and now they’re realizing they can’t control the fire they started.

4

Konilos Mar 27, 2026 +7

Oh hey, I can help you with that. He's the President of the United States of America and has consolidated a lot of power to the point where people either fear going up against him due to the risk of political and legal retaliation or latch onto him in an attempt to bouy their own careers. No one is afraid that the President of the United States of America is literally going to chase them down personally and physically do something to them, silly.

7

Catspaw129 Mar 27, 2026 +173

They are doing it wrong. They should send ICE to Iran. Arriving in Iran, ICE agents would deport all the Iranianisms and there would be nobody left in Iran to fight the USA liberators and block the Strait of Hormuz. The ~~spice~~ oil would flow! I mean, ICE is about 1/3 of the way there already: they are in the airports, -- skulking around -- past the security checks. Doing not much of anything at all. All they've got to do is board a plane. ETA: It occurs to me: Had I posted this proposal on conservative social media, this initiative would would be implemented early tomorrow. And I might even be put in charge! Becasue, dammit!, I'm a gosh-darn genius.

15

philosoraptocopter Mar 27, 2026 +23

OrneryLetterhead8609 Mar 27, 2026 +31

I do not understand why House Republicans are concerned about Trump sending ground troops when they sat there and allowed the man to enter into a war without their approval. Congressional approval for war should’ve happened before any soldiers went to Iran to do anything.

31

jmobius Mar 28, 2026 +10

Trump is a lose-lose situation for a lot of them. Should they give even the slightest hint of dissent, the vindictive a****** will try to get them primaried, as well as siccing MAGA nuts on them (many Rs have admitted they are afraid for themselves and their families of that crowd). Should they submit quietly and play along, the fuckwit runs everything he touches into the ground, including the country and many of his party member's political careers. Expanding and continuing their careers, as well as not getting ganked by stochastic terrorists, are the primary things of importance to them. Nearly anything else is performative.

10

KartFacedThaoDien Mar 28, 2026 +9

The thing is Trump never asked he just attacked. And the worst part is let's say its 90 days after the initial attack and if the war is still going on. I'm willing to bet that Congressional Republicans will not say a damn thing about War Powers Act violations. They'll just play the whole "we will lose seats." When they could end this today if they wanted to.

There is a zero percent chance they allow free and fair elections in the midterms. They will get absolutely destroyed. Yet they continue moving forward with their plans.

I do not see how we do not deploy troops at this point. If we do not, they will keep the strait as a pressure point that can continuously be used to mess up the world. Basically, Trump/Israel has got us involved in a situation was there is no good answer. There is a reason no other president "dealt" with Iran before.

30

Indubitalist Mar 27, 2026 +24

I honestly think we’re going to end up literally paying Iran to end the war, either as “humanitarian assistance” or something we will call “joint ownership” of petroleum infrastructure that’s really us paying to rebuild what we bombed and then give western oil and gas companies partial ownership of as a sort of hedge against future Iranian meddling. Trump will say our “win” was further “completely obliterating” their nuclear program and Iran will tell their people they defeated the invaders and got us to pay them back. And we’ll have the same diplomatic agreement Obama had crafted, or one that is substantially the same but with some concessions to Iran weakening it.

24

Adventurous_Salt Mar 27, 2026 +8

Iran gets everything they want, and the US gets a Trump Tower and Beach Club on Kharg Island. Art of the Deal.

that would be hilarious considering Trump routinely criticizes Obama for "giving Iran billions"

9

eskimospy212 Mar 27, 2026 +14

An indefinite occupation of the land around the straight of Hormuz seems like it has the potential to be far, far worse than Iran having the pressure point it has had forever. I think Trump will end up using ground troops because Iran seems unlikely to surrender and Trump would rather risk a catastrophe than admit to losing but it’s still a catastrophically bad idea.

14

riko77can Mar 27, 2026 +2

It would be pointless anyway. They don’t need to launch the drones from the *coastline* to threaten the Strait. They can still do that from a couple hundred kilometres inland.

2

Homeless-Coward-2143 Mar 27, 2026 +2

I think Iran will end up with a flat fee toll for passing the strait, which will be administered by a trump-owned company that takes a 25% fee for said toll administration.

Everyone of you that voted Trump and Republican: you voted for it and every American Troop who dies unnecessarily for a lunatic and his followers their blood is especially on your hands. Pointless deaths on both sides for what?

Republican voters talk a big game but everyone knows they are still going to turn out to vote R across the board

Trump has the same respect for the military as Putin. He will send them to their death with no remorse.

Remember folks. They're only panicking because they are scared of getting wiped out during midterms, not because they care about you or your family.

Amazing a Trump has made the biggest strategic error in US history. He has put Iran in a better position than before, China, Russia profit. Now he thinks it’s a good idea to make it worse by putting boots on the ground showing he has no clue what he is doing, He is however ranking in billions for himself somehow?

Phantom_61 Mar 27, 2026 +3

They can end this very easily. They just don’t want to.

Please send Eric and Barron to the war you created, Mr. Trump. We know how much you love our country. After all you kissed/fucked out flag.

FredFredrickson Mar 27, 2026 +3

"Panicking" Republicans could have stopped every single bit of this shit at any time.

3

TriMegalodon Mar 28, 2026 +3

They should’ve panicked when Trump was even considered to be a candidate. They should’ve panicked when he was known to be a pedophile. They should’ve panicked when he spurned an unsuccessful coup against the US. Spineless sycophant republicans, and impotent democrats too much for that matter, are directly responsible for the shape and embarrassment this country has acquired as a result. I hope every last one of them loses their cushy government job and gets to live the life they’ve forced on their constituents.

TheJaybo Mar 28, 2026 +3

No they're not. They could stop it tomorrow if they wanted to.

Round_Rooms Mar 28, 2026 +3

Have yet to see a republican panic, they have their heads so buried in Trump's diaper that they are completely unawares how much they fucked themselves.

>“Though I don’t want to try and take away any of the president’s ability to carry out this operation, I know a lot of our supporters and a lot of members of Congress are very concerned” about the possibility, [Eli Crane AZ- R] added. Crane, you are Congress. *You* have the power to declare and end war; not the president. It is your job to take away or grant the president the ability to wage this war, **so f****** act like it.**

Lindsey Graham isn't panicking

Donald is now sending American Soldiers to their deaths to distract from the Epstein files. Let that sink in for a minute.

New law idea: Any president who starts a war (or anything that looks like a war) must have his children of eligible age enlist in the army as infantry.

1

Djamt Mar 28, 2026 +1

If they're so worried, impeach him. Where I am from, if the PM isn't doing his job, or just useless the party gets a new leader for self preservation. No idea why the US is so cultish with their leaders, from someone looking in and follows US politics, he hasn't done anything he said he would do. So just kick him out.

Not panicking enough

2

SemichiSam Mar 27, 2026 +2

If anyone doubts the foolhardiness of 'boots on the ground' in Iran, take a look at a contour map of Iran, especially the area overlooking the Strait of Hormuz. We could destroy that terrain with a couple of nukes, but anyone walking into it will be walking into a meat grinder.

2

HR_DUCK Mar 27, 2026 +2

Play the victim. Distance yourself from the choice of the party leader. Blame the democrats. Repeat

2

BluemoonSamurai_ Mar 27, 2026 +2

Lol. Now they want to panic. That’s kind of what happens when you gradually hand someone like Trump powers that are guaranteed to Congress under Article 1 of the Constitution.

2

DarthLithgow Mar 27, 2026 +2

I don't know why they're panicking. They're getting exactly what they voted for.

No, don’t be panicans! Lol

Another Republican war. When will the mouth breathers learn to stop voting for these assholes?

killrtaco Mar 28, 2026 +2

Remember them all touting “no new wars” like dumb asses who dont know history. Same ones are asking why you dont support the war now…

[deleted] Mar 27, 2026 +2

The president truly seems not to care; he would happily start world war III and the end of civilization as we know it / just as long as those Epstein files never come to light....

Are they tho?

no they aren't. they do not give a SHIT about us.

Natertot1 Mar 27, 2026 +2

Whenever they are ready they will find a unanimous contingent of democrats in Congress ready to throw the crook out on his ass. Something tells me they don’t really mind THAT much though.

2

ailish Mar 27, 2026 +2

Then they should stand up to him.

2

Werftflammen Mar 27, 2026 +2

Don't worry, he is just humiliating the US army. He is sending them there Iran 'caves' and bith parties eclare victory.

2

Now would be a good time to throw the Trump administration under the bus. 🙄

2

LadyduLac1018 Mar 28, 2026 +2

I talked to a Trumper today. His take. "How many people have actually died", "Both sides are bad", " Alex Pretti was a troublemaker", "DT is a businessman", "Trump won't actually deploy troops". If I hear one more time that MAGAS are turning, I'll lose it. They didn't vote for him despite the fact he's a POS, they voted for him because he's a POS, and so are they.

2

TheDwellingHeart Mar 28, 2026 +2

Through all this, the only worry Republicans have is that what they have caused will end up hirting themselves. That is all they ever worry about. This is why the "conservative" party is nothing but a party of self serving scum.

2

ordermaster Mar 28, 2026 +2

Really? Because they all just voted to not reassert their constitutional authority on war powers.

guyfaulkes Mar 28, 2026 +2

The topography of Iran is damn near insurmountable. If Trump sends soldiers to invade Iran, will be receiving platoons of US dead soldiers after sending them into that catastrophic quagmire.

2

WolfenStrider Mar 28, 2026 +2

Are they though?

2

Oldman32092 Mar 28, 2026 +2

Some of them who understand politics, not just cult behavior, understand that U.S. troops dying in Iran will be bad for their election chances.

> “Though I don’t want to try and take away any of the president’s ability to carry out this operation, I know a lot of our supporters and a lot of members of Congress are very concerned” about the possibility, he added. -Eli Crane, congressman and navy seal The president’s ability? The president’s ability? It’s your god damn responsibility as a member of congress to debate and decide on whether we go to war. This is your constitutional responsibility you are shirking. Grow a god damn spine and do your job or resign!

Far-Advantage-2770 Mar 28, 2026 +2

It's so telling that US Politicians and voters are fine with illegally bombing civilians around the world but risking even 1 American life on the ground is too much heat.

2

_Tyson- Mar 28, 2026 +1

The President is not sending all those troops just to have them do nothing. He views himself as a tough guy so he will deploy them to do something. And he will blame prior administrations for doing nothing so that he has had to clean up their mess. He can rationalize anything to try and make himself look good. btw for those that have not figured it out yet - he is not now and never has been a republican.

Why not send his best ICE agents - all of them - it would solve many problems here in the USA.

Knight_Night33 Mar 28, 2026 +1

First it was no new wars, and then the goalpost moved to no boots on the ground. They’ll just keep moving it forever to suit their needs. They don’t actually stand for anything, they are just in a cult of personality.

Secret_Account07 Mar 28, 2026 +1

Then how about you do your f****** jobs These people are supposed to protect us but are risking our sons and daughters because they are too big of cowards to do their f****** jobs We should send them too the front lines

Imakemyownnamereddit Mar 28, 2026 +1

This shows something deeply rotten and arrogant about American society. You want wars without costs, war without blood, without any risk. You're perfectly fine using your smart weapons to kill foreigners, even children. Collectively most Americans couldn't give a shit about that. Yet the moment an American is in danger of so much as a broken finger nail, you all get outraged. As if it is unsporting for the country you're attacking to fight back. I have no love for Iran but this American attitude to war is dangerous. Wars should have a blood price because that is how we avoid reckless wars, how we avoid war without end. If you don't want any Americans hurt, don't start a war.

Can we stop calling them republicans. Its the part of trump. they rubber stamp everything he does no questions asked its the party of trump
