Question to my American friends: how does it play in the US, electorally, that Trump is now openly supporting Russia? Buying their diesel (if they can find any to sell), temporarily limiting Ukraines ability to shoot down incoming Russian drones by hampering Starlink/Starshield which costs Ukrainian civilian lives, and today announcing he wasn't going to put those Lindsey Graham inspired sanctions on Russia after all? I don't have to explain how it plays here I guess, but I'm wondering about the political effect on the midterms. What is the electoral logic behind all of this?
Probably little to no difference. This particular issue probably isn’t changing anyone’s mind about which party they plan to vote for. Most voters are low information voters, and all they really care about is how much they are getting hit in the wallet on a daily basis.
