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.
