This is the first time in years the Republicans have had to be a coalition party. Their party is entirely made up of snakes who will devour one another at a moments notice for a crumb of power. They’re going to absolutely destroy themselves and they’re too stupid and craven to notice, stop it, or care. Super looking forward to seeing it get worse for them lol.
The fact is this is a third rail for the GOP much like abortion, Support for Ukraine is broadly popular across a huge spectrum of the American public and the fact that the support that the US government is providing them is producing positive effects way beyond thier cost is going to be a hard point to sway from.  Not saying its not possible but it will require a large amount of misinformation to change peoples minds. In my mind how hard they push to try and stop aid for Ukraine is really going to be the measuring stick of how beholden to Russian power they really are. >

If Ukraine falls, the food supply for much of the world does too, which will make food expensive everywhere but the US, which will make American companies want to export their food, which will make food expensive in the US. It's a bad idea to not support them even with no emotional reasoning.
The world is an elaborate set of dominos when you consider the massive web of trade, you can't make decisions in a vacuum. >

Not saying I disagree but food cost where I live has been on an insane increase the past year or so. 
When I say insane, examples include a can of Pringles used to cost .79 cents, now $2.50
McDouble at McDonald’s used to be $1, now it’s $2.50
Dozen eggs used to be about $1, now $2.99
A half gallon of eggnog (store brand) was $6.79 the other day. 
I’m guessing this is just inflation and not just food cost increases so I hope it doesn’t get much worse. >

There was a nasty bird flu that impacted laying which cut supply of eggs driving up price. Mcdoubles at McDonald's went up major a couple years ago and had a couple small increases during COVID because of supply chain issues.  Dairy got fucked during COVID because of supply chain issues and never recovered fully. >

Man where does it end. Up up up >

It ends when we start holding companies and major corporations responsible when they raise prices unnecessarily. All of these price increases is for record profits without raising employees’ wages or any other benefit to consumers; literally nothing has changed to account for such increases. It’s a concerted effort to raise the cost of living by powerful industry leaders in groceries, real estate, etc., without paying workers more, so the admins get a big fat bonus at the end of the quarter but the workers responsible for the means of production get stiffed yet again because those managers kept costs down while increasing profits >

Which, in part, only works because collective labor markets are being diluted in power by the culture war and we've allowed regulations to die over the past 40 years. When socialism is a dirty word and unions are the enemy workers can't lobby for fair compensation and companies can maximize profits with no concern for the populace. >

I find it interesting that the article manages to dodge the real elephant in the room (if you’ll excuse the pun): the reason why support for Ukraine is opposed by some in the GOP is because Russia has provided support to the GOP. 
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, as the saying goes. >

The GOP civil war. MAGA vs Establishment GOP. They are never going to agree on anything. MAGA should just rip the bandaid off and launch a 3rd party. GOP Establishment want nothing to do with them and are trying to marginalize them.
