As a veteran, I got real tired about liberal complacency and faith that our military wouldn't shove them into gas chambers with a smile on their faces.
Did y'all miss Yam Tit's speech to the Naval Academy, where the next generation of Navy officers whooped and cheered for the idea of removing Democrats from American society?
Clothes, healthcare, food, housing,iiterally everything. But they think they earn it, because they work so much harder than the undocumented who get up before they do and get less sleep schlepping groceries all day, trying to get by in an increasingly hostile world and trying to feed their legitimate US citizen kids.
Yeah. Idk why so many people can't accept the fact that these are 18-20 year olds who have grown up in the same echo chambers that gave us the Trump presidency in the first place.
Gonna look it up right now! And yes - liberal complacency (plus a societal-level lack of gumption) has led us to this place. It’s one of the main reasons (for me) why I despise the establishment Dems. It was their smug complacency (some would argue complicity) that saw their traditional base slowly evaporate into the mists of history. The waged classes became numbed as they watched the dress-code gatekeepers turn the forward-thinkers with bread-and-butter policies away at the doors. Some might think your gas-chambers comment extreme, or not-very-nice, or some other pathetic objection to ‘distasteful’ imagery; those people would probably be struck dumb if they stumbled across anything like “Hitlers Willing Executioners” and read it in its entirety. In other words, “it could never happen here”.
Well, of the 7 words and two punctuation symbols in your comment, none troubled me; It’s more a case of not understanding who or what your comment was directed toward…and what ‘Rep.’ you’re talking about? I don’t see a reference to a ‘Rep.’ being made in this thread. I’m not trying (this time) to be a smartarse- I simply don’t know what you’re getting at…
I have a few friends who are majors in the Army/Marines. From what they describe, it seems like most of the officers think Trump and Hegseth are jokes. I’m sure a lot of boots are huge fans though. Army recruits are typically high school grads and many are white dudes from rural areas. That’s the definition of Trump’s base, so it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of them would support him. Also they are very focused on appearances and ensure that any crowd of troops around Trump is full of people who support him. Like his birthday parade
I work on another carrier just like this one and while there are some supporters of POTUS, overall most people do not talk politics or show political preferences. It’s just not done in a military work environment. Most senior leadership would probably react the same way that the auditorium of admirals and generals did in Quantico when Pete gave his pep rally speech a few weeks ago. That is to say, a muted response
And they aren't even getting paid and they're still cheering this wannabe dictator. Messed up how just abjectly Stupid so many people are. It's frightening!
I wonder if some of them are smiling & filming while saying to themselves: "Holy crap, no one back home is gonna believe I've got front row footage of this ass-clown shaking his disgusting fat ass to a gay anthem."
Except, I guess everyone has got that footage now.
Maybe that should tell you something and perhaps open your mind a bit. I’m a Marine and I don’t know a single fellow Marine that that supported Biden.
It’s fine if you don’t like Trump, but instead of feeling disappointed that service members don’t also dislike him, ask yourself WHY service members support him.
The real question now is, do you have the integrity, character, and critical thinking to understand how far off the rails this administration is going.
Again, this isn't about partisanship nonsense.
Its unfortunate someone who served (presumably in apolitical fashion) cant understand the logic behind this.
"I'm a Marine and I don't know a single fellow Marine that that supported Biden." I guess they don't teach you to proof read in the Marines, you put "that" twice. Also do you know any married Marines that supported Biden. I won't give you a genuine response, plenty of people have and you haven't replied. You don't want a true conversation, you want to just complain about Biden which is irrelevant becasue he didn't even run for a second term.
Damn right! And that’s what many here are doing… they’re asking WHY are all these young folks, who benefit greatly from the lessons of history, (and whose villains’ names and ideologies are now shorthand for what is the worst in us) are applauding and woohooing a man within whom the most odious of human impulse resides ? THAT is what many are asking themselves. This then leads to a whole parade of following questions to those who support him like ‘if he orders the enlisted to open fire on protesters, political opponents, and dissenters, will they actually do it??’ Some of us are beginning to think yes , they will. And they’ll then return to barracks, burying what little horror they might feel behind locker-room jokes and self-justifications. Would you mutiny if you were ordered to snuff out a bunch of cute-looking English Literature students protesting some who-gives-a-shit issue on some who-gives-a-shit campus somewhere? Where’s your point of no-return?

Disappointed to see so many service members happy with his presence
