Indoctrination is a hell of a drug :(
Iblamemyparentstoo
Even after all this they still voted for him
FlintNorth44
Starfox5
And vets will still vote for Republicans.
RetiredLaserMan
There isn't one single segment of our population that he hasn't insulted. Anyone still supporting him is an absolute idiot.
Antrobus55
It might have something to do with the fact that most of them cannot explain what it is they're willing to die for if you tell them they cannot use the word "freedom" in their explanation.
TacticoolWolf
I know a lot of vets who don't support trump. I would say it's 90% against him. The only people I know who like him are those false Valor camo wearing wanabees and those too old to have any sense left.
ExecutiveLag
People are so much worse than I ever imagined. Not just him. All of them.
7hatsBollocks
Been real fun learning that since 2020. I miss being optimistic/ ignorant.
OperatorWay
Many of them will continue voting for more of this & worse because "my fellow soldiers didn't die just so this country would let minorities exist" &/or some other ridiculous hills to (literally) die on.
LutraLazuli
Didn't the orange punt also call service members losers too?
duffman3335
SUCKERS and losers, but that came from an "unreputable source" (A 4-STAR MARINE GENERAL).
idiotsonfire
They're Nazis too.
ispendtomuchtimehere
The veteran is the backbone of the country who should always be honored for doing what you could and would not do and must always be treated with respect, dignity, and honor. The orange cunt who runs this country does not deserve to breathe air.
FlintNorth44
Including child killers and rapists? Your fealty is disgusting.
Cearnaigh
This is just really messed up worship of the troops.
Most are in it because there is no other perspective for their future outside of the army, which is by design.
A lot of them deserve as much respect as cops, because they show the same understanding of honour and dignity.
I do support the no air for drumpf movement, though.
ispendtomuchtimehere
no air for trump., we agree but .worship, no, it's that I don't blame the soldiers who had to fight..it's the mission and the leaders who were never right The soldier absolutely has to do their thing then live with it. Not saying that doesn't suck but there it is. I hate war and nationalism and greed but I do mean to respect the soldier who protects my right to hate his mission. ..oh ya, and god is just pretend. Peace.
tangent
They raised hell for the four soldiers killed in Benghazi. And this is small potatoes to them.
LiberalViking
This is why I got out this year. I'm over 20 so at least I get my retirement. Unless I try to use my first amendment.
TheobromineAddict
Did Fox "News" even report this? I work inside people's homes, and I have several clients who have Fox "News" running continuously throughout the day as background noise. When I'm working there, the never-ending stream of lies makes me so nauseous that if they leave the room I turn it off. I think this continuous stream of conservative propaganda always running in the background is actually quite common in Maga households, and explains why they seem so brain-damaged. Because they are.
bro02tc
But holy fuck do so amny have a fucking stroke when we had people kneeling during the national anthem
ChadMaxxington
Because they agree.
Hengore
Because those people dont view themselves that way and think it wouldn't happen to them, i mean there's poor people who will defend the rich because they might be rich one day,
They think if they do die it will be heroic and think they will have some memorial just for them
I mean hell after his whole "grab them by the pussy" comment you would think all women would hate him yet there women working for him and supporting him willingly
Drakesfear
Some of us drew the line when he was running the first time
GrandmasterSpank
Because they dont care about dead soldiers. This whole 'honor' thing turns out to be just something they say but dont really care about. Turns out things like racism and misogeny are more important. Thats the only explanation.
Marsupialmessiah
"There is no glory in war, its just something they tell soldiers so they will risk their lives"
NM156
Also, money. Money is very important to them!
GrandmasterSpank
If you, as a working class person, care about money, you shouldnt vote Trump so thats not a reason. What are fuel prices at? 6 bucks? How expensive are groceries (a word Trump never heard of before 2024 (!!).
NM156
I thought you were talking about the politicians not the voters. But yeah, the people that can least afford it put him in office.
FlintNorth44
No honor but compliance. Those soldiers are just dead ants to the queen. Just numbers to be erased and replaced.
HuCared
Excursion collateral. Happens
psmith00
he regularly called the military soldiers both alive and dead chumps and losers because they were in the military and not in regular jobs making money for the oligarchs. he never deserved to be president and we can hope that, eventually, he'll do so much damage to those who voted for him that they'll never take the chance of ever voting again lest something similar happen again.
whatsthisbuttondonow1
Because the US military is made up of rapists, pedophiles, and just plain old fashioned peices of shit
TheFuckfaceWhisperer
See, it doesn't work that way. Some people who are in the military joined before the orange buffoon took office and there's this little thing called the USMJ which means that if you try to protest or disagree with him, you can literally end up in jail. There is no "speaking out" really allowed. And as long as the orders are "lawful" (not saying they all are), then you have no choice but to support that guy. As was said: USMC. U Signed the Motherfucking Contract.
GNious
Sorry, are you saying that not voting for the prez violates the UCMJ ?!?
rfleming1080
They support him even if the orders aren't lawful. That's why they bomb schools, kill fishermen, and help ICE on our streets instead of actually protecting the constitution.
Akurei00
Yes, but I wouldn't necessarily blame the soldiers for firing on the school because they're just given a target and not informed that it was a school full of children at the time.
The responsibility lies on military intelligence and the ones making the decisions to bomb the wrong targets. I think most soldiers would be, at the least, very hesitant to fire on a school if they knew it was a school.
req4adream99
Sure. But voting is still private in the military. And a clear majority of vets will publicly state that they support him. So unless your argument is that they’re doing a 180 shift upon leaving the military your arguments don’t really hold up.
duffman3335
JFC. It's UCMJ, as in UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE, not USMJ or USMC.
TheFuckfaceWhisperer
JFC it's a typo.
TheFuckfaceWhisperer
The other thing people need to remember is that mostly, it's the military people who are boots on the ground who support him the most. You're going to find most of the people who are liberal leaning in support positions because they were educated enough not to go in open contract and picked something that requires some brains.
TheMindEntropic
KINDA MAKES YOU NOT FEEL BAD FOR THEM a little bit.
DrSchlepenstein
Trump called our service members "suckers and losers" previously and they continued to support him.
gustavg
Wait.. did he really say that??
datphone777365
Suckers and losers? Like he called em?
cgt9803
66% of active military voted for Trump in 2024 after he called them suckers and losers
Toqom
Have a hard time believing this statistic, they don't break the voting out to make this information easy to tell
frontseatdog
TBF, they kinda proved it.
MattoJanai
I feel like most leftists don't want to kill or contribute to killing other people. A lot of Military people (not all) either find honor in killing or are just insane right wing people who want a legal excuse to kill someone. So it's really not shocking that the Military supports a right wing dictatorship. They're the alpha male idiots who think they could win a fight against a chimp so they probably agree that anyone who dies in war is a loser
presentingmedia
Veteran here, first time I ever voted was against trump and I was over 30
1stDrunkJoe
Faux News was playing everywhere in the military in the noughties. I've always preferred PBS so guess who I vote for, CORRECT the candidate! Meet your candidates, local elections have way more direct impact on your life than any news will tell you.
Ajierene
Source?
Psychonoticon
Yeah. Not my experience.
darthnerdus6236
The military doesn't really exist without a Conservative bias.
Pookiemonster1
You're conflating numbers to make your 66% seem larger than it is and you are being INTENTIONALLY disingenuous. Only 44% registered to vote at the time of the polling in 2024 with 66% expected to vote for Trump, with a large amount considered from Independent registered voters. That's only 29% of the military captured by polling. Not to mention over 100,000 voters had their ballots thrown out because their registrations and mail in votes were late. 79% of active duty voters HAVE to vote by mail.
Pookiemonster1
There is a big distinction between registered and participating, 67% were registered at the final counting with only 45% of those actually casting a vote or their vote making it according to FVAP data. You also need to make the distinction of where you got your numbers from, which was a pre-election survey from GovX an e-commerce site, while the actual numbers post election are from FVAP, is a federally mandated body. So no, 66% of the entire active military did not vote for Trump.
cgt9803
The point remains that despite calling them suckers and losers and gutting benefits, Trump got twice as many active-military votes as Harris.
TexMexHex
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every vet I know voted for him 3 times, and they all still think he is second jesus.
Pookiemonster1
Every vet I know who never shuts the fuck up about serving and making their service their entire personality is a boomer or older genXer child of a boomer that is now probably a LEO. You mean those vets? And btw the conversation was about active duty, not vets. That's a much bigger and different demographic or do you not understand that?
Letstriptogether
I wonder how many of them only voted for him because he promised he would not go to war. People tend to vote in their own interest and that may have sound appealing for someone in the military.
Raikupath
It say it's much more about the fact that people who join the military usually aren't the brightest ones out there and combine that with a population that isn't quite bright in general and you get that result. Otherwise your military would've overthrown the guy who raped children who is running the country. No one in their right mind would just go on with their day and go to work etc. if a literal child rapist is running the country through fascists that use him as a distraction.
KaptainObveeus
Why would you ever think him saying he's not going to go to war would mean he's not going to go to war? That's just absurd if you know the guy. Heck, it means I am definitely going to war. He told us he was going to.
tychog99
I guess only a loser and a sucker would fall for that ..
bourbonandbaddecisions
I’m a vet and I know a bunch of other vets who hate this guys guts.
TheSpiFlyer
Yeah same here, I work with vets and AD. I know like 1 guy who doesn't hate him out of 40
Lovingimpaler
Same. Having taken seriously my oath to uphold and defend the constitution, how any of my brothers and sisters in arms could vote for this absolute anti-American shitbag, is beyond me. WTAF
EroticZombiePants
I'm fairly sure many of the people who joined our military this year or so did so precisely because he's taking America exactly in the direction they want it to go though.
Lovingimpaler
That i could see, no one else wants to join, recruiting is struggling. So the ones who do join must think this is fine.
req4adream99
Good. Then this probably wasn’t directed at you or the people you know. But tbh I’d wonder why, if what you say is true, you read “a majority of the military support Trump” and felt the need to say “not me!!!” - if I gave a shit. Which I don’t. Cuz people that read about how shitty a group that they choose to associate with is and feels the need to say “not me!!” usually identifies with that group even tho the group is shitty. As the old saying goes - if you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna/1
thinkybrainpains
I’m a veteran and every time a veteran uses the “not me” card, I go ape shit. Yeah and??? Acknowledge the majority of military and Veterans DO support this shit bag instead of trying to dilute the facts and be hands off. And then get to fucking work to right the wrongs of the group by taking action every fucking day to undo the mess Vets and soldiers made. Take, fucking. Action. And stop gaslighting by diluting the truth.
req4adream99
Get fleas.
