re: Vance 2028 - the path to defeat

TPUSA totally lost the plot with younger male voters when they went hard neocon and supported this War in Iran - when it’s well documented that Charlie would have massively opposed military action (like Tucker, Kelly, Rogan). This demographic is screaming from the rooftop for help in affordability and in the labor markets with their unemployment at 2.5x the national average. I think this group is going to complete the political horseshoe and end up supporting someone in the Graham Platner mold in 2028 - perhaps John Fetterman if he runs.
Saudi, and more importantly their Arab allies, are pissed about the blockade
Money’s not going to matter if he continues to be 15+ points underwater
I think they’ve just written the midterms off at this point
Hypothetically to cripple the Iranian economy more than it is already crippled

Ok - how do you propose we do that and how much is it going to cost? If you war game the scenario, you will destroy the world’s energy infrastructure pretty much every time

We should write off our losses as sunk costs and pull out. Nothing good is going to come out of blowing more crap up and escalating further. Destroying the world’s energy infrastructure would cause a significant global recession that could last for years.
You can support all of these things. I just don’t want taxpayers to be the ones paying for it
It’s going to be interesting to see if the Fed has to push rates up to combat runaway inflation
Yeah this one nails my thoughts about the war
Iran kind of holds the trump card in this knowing the US Congress will not continue to fund this war
I believe that same poll (if you look at the exp polls page) has Dems +6% when they asked voters who they plan on voting for in the congressional election in the fall.

You can definitely respond to this. The bigger issue isn’t just how Wang defines the exceptions; it’s who gets to change the rule at all. Birthright citizenship has been settled through the 14th Amendment and long-standing precedent, so altering it should take an act of Congress (or an amendment), not a unilateral shift. Otherwise, you risk a yo-yo effect where one president restricts it and the next expands it again, and the Court generally wants to avoid that kind of instability around something as fundamental as citizenship.

On her argument, saying there’s a “universal rule” with a “closed set of exceptions” isn’t unusual in law. But the weak spot is how fixed those exceptions really are. Once everything hinges on being “subject to the jurisdiction,” you’re in a gray area that can be interpreted different ways. That’s exactly the concern. If the boundaries can shift depending on interpretation, it reinforces why changes should go through Congress to keep the rule consistent and predictable.
I get the argument you’re making—it’s basically the idea that acting a little “unhinged” can make adversaries think twice. If people on Facebook are saying “Trump is unhinged,” you could imagine Iranian officials thinking he might actually be unpredictable enough to follow through, and that could create some deterrence. There’s a version of that logic that makes sense on the surface.

But there’s also a real “what if” here. What if the recent irrationality and the sharp 180 on foreign policy goals aren’t a strategy at all? When you combine that with what looks like a growing disconnect from his own base—who are loudly focused on affordability—and even side obsessions like things such as a White House ballroom, it can start to feel less like calculated unpredictability and more like something else entirely. Some people would look at that pattern and see not “brilliance,” but a sign he could be mentally deteriorating. Even if that’s not the case, it risks creating confusion abroad and frustration at home, which is a pretty unstable mix.
Idk - this all ends when Trump can’t get funding through the war through congress
