Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.

    Domestic opposition doesn’t mean shit if they don’t do anything about it.

        I didn’t know if that’s “doing” anytime. It’s all rhetoric.

        They also said all sorts of stuff about curbing his actions in Venezuela but when it came time to vote they couldn’t even get it to need a veto.

        Maybe violating European sovereignty is a bridge enough to actually pass something, but I expect them to just let the veto happen

        One interesting point in the article you posted rather than OP’s is that according to Ipsos only 17% of Americans approve of taking Greenland. I have no clue what the truth is but that number ‘feels’ a little more accurate.

        In short that would mean 17% of Americans are ride or die MAGA which sadly is a believable number.

          Note that violent means only had 4%. So 13% wouldn’t mind a peaceful purchase. Which is still dumb but at least not as outright insane as Stephen Miller would go.

          Do keep in mind there usually is a “I don’t know” option. So both numbers can be true.

        You’ll excuse me if I don’t put much stock in the promises of Republican lawmakers. Particularly Murkowski.

        Ask yourself, honestly, what will they do when push comes to shove?
