[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought most of the military voted for Trump. [/quote]

Quit pushing this lie.  The military is as diverse as the rest of the country.

And the non MAGA know a tin pot dictator when they see one.

No. You are wrong. Military votes by a significant margin for Trump.

*As a result of logistical challenges, polling active duty military is difficult, but we get a pretty clear picture when polling vets. [/quote]
Polling on vets who are elderly and watching Fox News all day is not “polling the military” [/quote]
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?[/quote]

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.
