It doesn’t really matter. In every major conflict since the Korean War, markets have recovered within a few months—including after the September 11 attacks.
A 6% drop isn’t unusual. Moves like that happen all the time. In fact, the S&P 500 has risen roughly 60% since 2022, and for the past year many investors have actually been expecting a correction. When the market has dipped, the reaction has often been relief rather than panic because investors want a gradual pullback instead of a sudden crash.
It’s also worth remembering that the bottom 90% of Americans own only about 10% of the stock market. Most voters don't give two sh!ts about market movements. It's inflation not markets that matter.
You are making a losing argument focused on the wrong people on something that historically isn't affected by war.
