(10,960 posts)2. Israel bombing Iran
The American people do not rally around Democrats, and haven't since 1962.
The problem is that the critical mass of fascists necessary to any social rallying around movement are now all RWers.
So if Israel bombs Iran we will get very little "I support the president in times of crisis" and a great deal of, "Why is gas $6.50 a gallon?"
