Kai, the vast percentage of people you and I served with are just fine overlooking this. They voted for him because the notion Dems will blow up the budget. All while Trump blows up the budget. But you know how hard it is to change teams even when they’re losing.
Did people really vote for him because of the budget? Really?
Racism
Also sexism. “Trophy wives, yada yada.” Another way of saying the armed forces are distinguished for committing sexual assault with no consequences
Their vote had nothing to do with the budget. They may have told people it was about egg prices, but that they stopped caring about prices as soon as Trump took office tells you everything. Let’s not excuse racism and sexism.
No, they voted for him because a full-tilt propaganda machine trained them to associate Democrats with Satan, perversion, communism, weakness, and women. None of them care a whit about the budget.
