How Americans see the parties on key issues
www.pewresearch.org
The Republican Party holds advantages on crime and immigration policies, while the Democratic Party holds advantages on policies related to race, health care, abortion and the environment.

We aren’t seeing a change in heart from Trump, we are seeing Trump’s true position become untenable with US voters.

This is a vital context an analysis of Ukraine-US relations has to account for.

    really wish republican voters would go ahead and learn what it is they’re voting for. anyone who’s paid any degree of attention over the last 10 years has known who the 47th president is and what he thinks of the Ukrainian populace. he’s a russian asset, extorted Ukraine for political dirt on a rival’s son, and overall doesn’t care about anyone or anything and seeks only immediate gratification

      Definitely, but notice even among republicans, the cold hard facts point out Trump’s position on not emphatically supporting Ukraine is extremely unpopular. MAGA is a cult and while republicans still will get in line and do as they are told make no mistake Trump’s disdain for Ukraine is a losing issue, there is no significant demographic in the US anywhere on the political spectrum that reliably wants to stab Ukraine in the back.

      This changing dynamic increasingly leaves authoritarian strongmen like Trump with less space to stall and bullshit before the consequences hit the republican party like a freight train.
