    Unfortunately, even if we could convince them to cut military spending, they wouldn’t use the recaptured funds to improve American life, they’d just give it to the Sociopathic Oligarchs

    That goes for both MAGAs and Dems. The Dems are no different than MAGAs, they would much rather smooch the donors than the voters.

      Probably not: voters get the politicians they vote for. At least it’s not wasted on armed services & foreign bases US taxpayers don’t want or need. The mere fact it could be spent better is enough reason not to spend it there.
