Historically foreign policy barely affects elections unless there is a real crisis where Americans are dying or potentially dying. And it has to be serious. Vietnam did in Johnson, but the Iraq fuckup didn’t hurt W (far fewer dying than in Vietnam) and trouncing Iraq didn’t help the elder Bush less than 2 years after he did it. The next election is more than 3 years away. This will mean nothing by then.
Maybe not Afghanistan by itself. But between this, the border shitshow, inflation, the Dem govt getting authoritarian again over covid (lol vaccinated people have to wear masks outdoors in Oregon) everything is lining up nicely for a Republican comeback if they can run a competent candidate. Of course if Trump runs who the hell knows what happens.

I mean the way things are going even Trump might beat Harris in 2024.
