You know nothing about polling. Pew is one of the most reputable sources for surveying out there. Where you do have your data that military vote the same as non-miltiary Americans? |
Military traditionally votes Republican, not "Trump". Yesterday, they got a front row seat to see how big of a senile moron he is, though. |
I’m not going to dig through 10 years of articles for you. Here’s one that popped up right away, and another that explains “vets” and “active duty” aren’t the same. And if you understand how many women and POC are in the service, it shouldn’t surprise you that’s it’s about 50/50 split, just like the rest of the country. Plus, career officers and NCOs are not going to answer the question, so polling is going to be skewed for young people and those who just served for a few years and left. The military is THE most diverse employer in the country. It was more liberal during the draft years than it is now, but don’t pretend it’s all a bunch of MAGA. Even the people who consider themselves republicans know that Trump is a threat to democracy - unless they’re racist and fascist. He’s definitely NOT a conservative. https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/post-911-veterans-split-between-supporting-harris-trump-2024-election-military-vets-politics-iava https://www.businessinsider.com/us-troops-prefer-biden-but-veterans-favor-trump-polls-show-2020-10 |

I just skipped through Trump's speech, listening to about 10 clips.
OMG! In every clip I heard except one, he was talking about how awful Biden and Obama were and how great he is. Why does he think anyone wants to hear that?! The whining is so, so tiresome. |
They should be ashamed of themselves but I'm pretty sure narcissists don't shame easily. |
It’s the dementia. Hyper fixation on nonsense. |
They don’t have enough self-awareness to be ashamed. And for Hegseth, it was 100% about being a dead end Major in the reserves and getting a chance to act like he was in charge of all those stars. I promise you that even if one of them is MAGA, they don’t respect Hegseth or think he has any credibility. He’s an insult to the entire DoD. He is the worst, most incompetent and obnoxious guy in your unit who drives everyone else nuts. |
Yup |
I find it weird that people like Jocko Willink like him because they preach responsibility and Hegseth is so far from this type of person. I'm sure former Navy Seals though aren't the typical military vet that exists across the armed forces. |
Yeah, well, they voted for Trump and shouldn’t be surprised when he put someone like Kegseth in charge. What were they expecting? |
|
Can you imagine... you have a room full of generals, who have served most of their lives in that role, being told off by a reality tv celebrity and former fox news talking head?
I would've been so pi$$ed. I don't blame them for just keeping their heads down to keep their pensions. But, gawd, how galling. |
Blatantly obvious he has a chip on his shoulder and a huge lack of self esteem. Biden and Obama seem to live rent free in his head, permanently. I can totally imagine that on his deathbed, he will still be saying how he was better than either of them. Good god. Such a little person. |
Why does everyone have to make an excuse for him? While he may have dementia, it is not a fact. What is a fact? He’s a self-centered, dumb turd who likes to hear his own voice. |
Most of the people in the audience likely didn’t vote at all. Surely you noticed their poker faces. These are people who take their apolitical responsibility very seriously. They will vote when they retire. |
Because Trump is so toxic, unevolved, narcissistic, disordered, and such an un-self-aware idiot, Biden/Obama/every single other one of his "enemies" live rent-free in his mind and he cannot get past it. Can you imagine walking around like that every day of your life with all of the people you hate absolutely filling your every thought to the point you talk about it constantly and you expend all of your energy focusing on it? Pathetic. Loser. |
