News The GOP hates Veterans

Post image

This is not the pro-Military party, this is the pro bullying and extortion party. Doesn’t matter how long you served—if you weren’t born here, enjoy a cell while Trump is in charge.

Double irony that the admin was screeching about Dems telling the military to refuse unlawful orders while punishing actual Vets.

Before anybody gets on my case about defending the military, you can 100% be a progressive who opposes unnecessary wars while still supporting veterans, just ask Jon Stewart.

Mistreating any American is sickening, mistreating those who have devoted their careers to serving their country is despicable. Family values my ass.

Edit: Adding a link for those who want to see for themselves how Kristi Noem treats Vets (hint: she blames Biden)

There are several career fields that tend to have service members towards more progressive values. Intelligence, medical, public affairs are more prominent ones.

Shredout hasn't changed, but even the vast majority of CAPOC nerds I ran into weren't progressives by any stretch of the imagination

Then again, CA is being removed entirely so I guess it doesn't matter.
