| Vance: "It's the Jews fault" |
I tend to believe that most Americans are centrists. Meaning
that despite the pollical affiliations - they are neither Republican nor
Democrat ideologues but rather tend to vote for candidates who speak to their
issues. In 2024, that meant Trump and the Republicans. After two years of
economic disaster, they voted to correct their mistake by rejecting Trump and
anyone associated with him. In short, MAGA is dead.
So what happened last Tuesday was not so much a victory for
Democrats as it was a total rejection of Trump. The public simply no longer
buys a presidency that seemed to do everything it could to lose the trust of
the American people. The promise of a Trump presidency making America better
than it was under Biden never materialized. Instead, the economy was hurt by
economic policies that caused prices to rise quickly and stay there.
Making the economic situation even worse was the decision to
attack Iran without finishing the job. We are now left with a prolonged
stalemate in which the US military has its guns pointed at Iran but refuses to
pull the trigger. Meanwhile, Iran’s countermeasure of blocking the Strait of
Hormuz has caused an unprecedented pain to the American pocketbook. Driving up
the cost of just about everything else.
Vice President Vance said the war was what everyone voted
against. But the truth is that there has been no military action to speak of
for months. No American military personnel have been killed or even injured
during that time. Truth be told, what the American people really object to is
the cost of the war. More precisely, it is the increased cost of living
that this standoff with Iran has caused. The bottom line is that it’s really
about the bottom line. Not the war itself. Which is not much of a war since
there isn’t any fighting going on.
But then Vance decided to blame the Jews, too. That the US
had to change its relationship with Israel.
So, according to Vance, it’s the Jews fault…
