MAGA folk make up a majority of the population of most Southern states, and they are loving the cruelty, even if they are getting hurt. They're definitely drinking the Flavor-Aid in places like Oklahoma.

Not much to do unless 21 Republican senators decide to cross the aisle and agree to convict him in an impeachment trial. I say 21 because, even though there are 47 Democratic senators and 67 votes are needed to convict, one of Fetterman's balls is in a jar on Trump's desk, and Fetterman's other ball is in a jar on Netanyahu's desk.

I am not convinced that is an accurate statement.  I don't think, even with GOP in the south, this Iran conflict is well liked.  

The original bombing I think had support, but the more it drags on, the more he is requesting billions, the more gas increases in price, the more we see our kids being deployed...  if he doesn't get out of this mess soon, even with his core group, I think he loses a lot of people.  

It would be in the GoPs best interest to get out of this mess.  

edit

I realize my litmus test is wildly unscientific, but most of my family are big supporters...  they are unhappy.  I always figured it takes a lot for them to be unhappy and that is the start of a trend that isn't going to go well long term.  

I truly hope your family are the harbingers of things to come in November.

Meanwhile, MAGA acquaintances of mine celebrated their Easter by posting apologia on Trump's behavior, prefaced by "I will continue to tolerate my liberal friends and family." 

Tolerate. How fucking big of them, eh?
