Turns out racism trumps all.
Turns out trump's all racism 🙃
All racists turn out for Trump
Oops! All racism!
George W was awful to the military and veterans get screwed by republicans all the time. Yet they love republicans and vote for them in droves. People don’t make sense.
Sure they do. Stupid people fall for propaganda and these losers are stuuuuuuuupid.
You can fool some of the people all of the time. They're mostly called conservatives.
Except it's not just very stupid people. It's a big demographic swath. Some folks know what psychological buttons to consistently push and keep pushing those very reliable buttons. These are old tricks, but they're now amplified by the technology of new media -and these dillweeds have great feedback now thanks to social media to know if this week's shenanigans are playing well so they can adjust accordingly. A mess. Humankind's evolutionary biology weaponized to the benefit of a few. It's where we are.
When I was in, the bs spewed was that you should vote Republican to get pay increases because the Dems won't do it. Of course the GOP also likes to chip away at the VA and other veteran aftercare. We also had personnel equipment shortages like armor during OEF/OIF and Congress just shrugged.
Unfortunately there are a lot of impressionable kids and they pass the same dumbassery on when they are old timers. It is effective because you're basically indoctrinated to trust senior leaders.
It’s a shame when somebody comes home from a republican war with PTSD, injuries, lost friends, etc, and still don’t connect that war with the Republican Party.
And people think Trump wouldn’t start a war the way George W did, but I would not be surprised if he did. 2020 began with him assassinating an Iranian general. Also, he is already instigating the entire Middle East with his comments and threats about Palestine.
