"Only nine percent of MAGA opposes it. In addition, beyond MAGA, the broader GOP base is overwhelmingly on board with this war. For example, while a new Quinnipiac Poll found only 40% of Americans support Trump’s iran war--among the GOP that number shoots up to 85%. ...

What you are seeing is a reminder that MAGA is fascist movement that is a danger to our democratic Republic."

"A majority so clear that politicians like Kent want to tap into it. And that’s a good thing.

But there’s a cynicism to his letter and its insistence that the president of the United States is some defenseless lamb being led astray by Israel. …

Kent has a tone that speaks directly to Trump and MAGA, assuring them that their blameless leader has been hoodwinked. Israel is to blame…"

"Kent’s letter, for all its patriotic rhetoric, seems a lot like an insider coup against a declining president; and an attempt to capture the leadership of an increasingly unhappy MAGA. …

When Kent says this war isn’t serving America, he’s echoing the view of a clear majority of the country."

"Discord in MAGA-world and resignations from this administration are indeed good. But Kent's letter blames Israel in a she-made-him-do-it way: 'It's clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.'"

"Joe Kent’s resignation shows that Trump’s illegal war in Iran is creating a fissure within the MAGA upper ranks, but don’t expect many others to quit soon."

Before the war, 35% to 40% of Republicans supported military action against Iran per polls. So what is that number a few weeks into the war after Americans have been killed, gasoline prices have shot up and inflation is rising?

Are you ready? Ninety percent of people who are self-described as MAGA now say they support Trump’s war per an NBC News poll."

"As long as Trump believes he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, however, the Iranians have him over a barrel. And with oil prices currently at their highest since 2023, the American middle class is going to burn up as long as he’s over it."

"While Trump’s goal at the beginning of the war was unclear and ever-changing, it is no such thing now, as the Iranians have now determined what Trump’s goal must be: sending America’s sons and daughters to sacrifice their lives in the name of cheap gas."
