I find it interesting that one of the concerns and disagreements discussed was how Republicans seem to be "switching places" to a more typically Democrat stance and showing little interest or resolve to defend Ukraine. It was also pointed out that our current president has no leadership qualities or personal charisma to use his bully pulpit to help rally American sentiment. What we have been told as Republicans is that WE are the "greatest existential threat" to the US. Any message that Biden, Harris, any other current democratic leader, MSM - is that White Supremacists are the "biggest threat" to our nation. And that white supremacists are the Mega Republicans. So if you happen to have voted for Trump (ie, half the nation) you pose some "threat" to the US and that this is the MAIN THREAT to the US. This doesn't leave much room for other concerns does it. Should we just ignore that constant vitriol and pay attention to Ukraine? In truth, we cannot ignore it. Any time you see Biden televised or watch any main stream news show ALL you hear about is TRUMP and MAGA Republicans. When the administration and the country in general puts this as their focus, there is not much else left for foreign conflicts. And to suggest that "MAGA Republicans" now idealize Putin! No. No Republican thinks that. The bottom line remains, that the most left wing Democrat and the moderate Democrats and even the "free thinkers" of The Free Press still do not understand what the average Trump voter or the average Republican values, how they think or what they think. even Bari Weiss and many of the other Free Press moderators suggest that MAGA Republicans are delusional red necks. The Andrew Sullivan "realization" was ridiculous. If you can divert your focus OFF Trump for more than 5 minutes, if you can STOP insulting half the country, if you can make a case for anything other than the focus they continue to have, maybe you'd actually rally people to a cause. Otherwise, the apathetic reaction is what results.
