Republicans overwhelmingly oppose President Donald Trump using military force to take control of Greenland, as tensions have soared with Denmark and other NATO allies over the administration’s repeated threats.
New polling released by CBS News and YouGov, conducted from January 14 to 16, shows that large majorities of Democrats, independents, and Republicans oppose the president taking the island territory by force.
The president recently warned NATO that anything short of U.S. control of Greenland would be „unacceptable,“ and the leaders of all 27 European Union nations gathered on Sunday for an emergency meeting to discuss possible responses to Trump’s tariff threat.
So basically, the consensus is „Universal healthcare? Nah. Free college? Nope. Annexing Greenland? Now you’ve gone too far.“

I would certainly hope they would be against it. But again. It’s 2026, and from what I’ve seen I have not much hope for either party getting us out of this nightmare. The only hope I have is my neighbors and friends, and people who authentically care for each other.
Fuck everyone else. And fuck anyone who voted for this narcissistic piece of shit some call our president. I’m calling him what he is. Useless.

And yet the Republicans in Congress who represent this „overwhelming“ group are too busy gulping „The Orange“ and talking in Russian.

They are now. Once he does attack Greenland, suddenly they’ll be in favor of it. Just watch.

> The new polling by CBS News/YouGov shows that 70 percent of Republicans are against Trump utilizing military force to take control of Greenland. Among Democrats, that number is 97 percent, whereas it is 90 percent among independents. Overall, 86 percent of U.S. adults opposed military force against the U.S. ally.
You know what? I never thought I would actually see that much agreement on an issue. I guess the question is whether republicans care enough to do something about it.

They are opposed until he actually makes a move on Greenland, then they will overwhelmingly fall in line

Bullshit. They say they are against it and he would never do it because it’s insane and unpopular. As soon as he does it, it will be the best most patriotic smartest thing ever done and they always support it.
NOTHING THEY SAY MEANS ANYTHING.

From anything I have witnessed by republicans reining in Trump, they aren’t even vocally against Trump using the military on Americans. They are complicit in his economic terrorism tactics and continue to support his batshit lunacy on all fronts.

WWIII
NATO would defend Greenland
World markets would toss America into the fucking toilet
Trade with America to a fucking standstill
No planes landing in NATO countries
American military bases expelled
Republicans need to deal with Trump right fucking now

That’s before Fox News tell them what to think.
It’s not unusual for them to have reasonable take before they get their marching orders.

Those who realize Trump is a fascist but nonetheless stay silent about it because it benefits them are fellow travelers, plain and simple. They’re at least as bad as the Germans who profiteered from property confiscated from the Jews. If not worse.

So 30% of of Republicans support Trump utilising military force to take control of Greenland, a peaceful ally and a NATO protected territory.
Let that sink in….
America, you have a problem.
