A Post-Election Comment Sampler
5th November 2026
Calling Iran a “forever war” about a month after it started was another factor, and the Tuckeresque right was very instrumental in disseminating that message as well, despite the fact that it’s been a war in which there have been very very few American casualties and pretty much no boots on the ground, against an implacable enemy that’s done much damage all around the world for almost fifty years. No matter. A lot of people on the right feel that Trump broke one of the promises on which they had relied, and that it’s the fault of his listening to the nefarious Jews.
Trump did promise ‘no more wars’, and that was stupid, because it’s a promise he couldn’t guarantee to keep. It only takes one side to make a war, and Iran has been making war on the U.S. since 1979.
