You're unironically right. War pretty much always boosts a US president's popularity. It's how Bush Jr got re elected after he stole the first election. The hogs love war. Biden bombing Iran, Yemen, or "Iranian proxies" (as American propaganda describes any group in the Middle East opposed to US interests) would boost his popularity.

It doesn't seem to be as much the case nowadays. If anything, liberals will vote for a war president regardless of party affiliation while conservatives vote consistently with their guy declaring war. They think Biden and the Dems are weak even after everything they've done so far. I don't think anything will really change that.

Well Trump didn't do a traditional reelection war and lost. Biden did two, but halfassed so the war electorate is grumbling.

An old guy wanders into a Subway shop with a guy in a suit and shades behind him. The guy talks to his wrist. The old guy has a couple minders with him too but they can't stop him from marching up to the counter to complain in a loud voice.

"I did another genocide. When do I get a free sub?"

"Every third genocide is free, sir. Free to you that is." (glances nervously under the counter)
