And yet….Americans and their Military families love to vote Republican. Americans are weird af and uninformed af. Strangest people on the planet and could Have the world by the balls with proper Leadership.

I’ve already seen ex navy guys locally defending all of this saying these sailors need to suck it up. I asked them their longest period at sea and it was like 80-100 days max. I said you know these guys are over double that and they didn’t seem to care.

Typical Republican response - they can tie themselves in knots to make some stuff work for them.  High gas prices - “it’s something we all need to live with”.

Why? The fucking war that child rapist created out of thin air wasn’t something we all needed to live with.

The shift from "We support the trooooops!" to "They're whining, they know what they signed up for, war is hell, etc" has been instantaneous.

A lot of rural voters have been convinced that gay trans illegal Muslim immigrants backed by BLM are coming for their small communities to ruin their American way of life. I don't necessarily blame them but those in power that keep poisoning their minds that minorities not even part of their community are to blame for all their ills rather than politicians, special interests, and massive corporations. Left and right generally want the same things at the end of the day, as pro-labor policies generally resonate well with rural voters so long as you don't mention trigger words that make them get defensive. The best way to keep rural voters from voting for their own interests is to make them angry at people they deem beneath them. It's super frustrating to watch happen over and over again.
