US Politics Thread

Every once in a while I read a Fox News article to gauge the prevailing sentiment of its viewers.

My latest read is this: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/battle-kyiv-brutal-michael-pregent-jon-sweet

Check out the comments - it's full of hate for Biden, sure that this wouldn't have happened under Trump, questioning why the US should be involved in this struggle in the first place and on and on and on.

The Fox viewership - which is quite large - remains out-of-touch with reality. I'd held out some hope that Putin's unprovoked invasion of a democratic nation might bring about some sense of outrage and a desire to help. Not so at all.

That said, Republican congressmen and senators seem mostly on board with enacting measures against Russia - so there seems to be an undercurrent of Republican sentiment that's not aligned with Fox.

I noticed Trump supporters at the start of the Ukraine crisis calling Biden a warmonger and now that he and the west are pursuing economic sanctions and refusing to get directly involved militarily they're calling Biden weak.

And they still can't see the pretzel logic of this.
