I hope it works, but I have so little faith in Republican voters anymore.

Actually I think this is one of the keys to freeing the minority of the country that insists on being stupid as shit. They love trump but loyalty to the military runs far deeper. Find me a right leaning fuck who doesn't at least pay lip service to the military. Of course they don't actually support them, but it's a potent motivator that they at least feel like they're doing so.

So not unlike when you have to work certain angles to get a toddler to take a bath or go to bed, so must steps be taken to try and pry these people out of their death cult spiral. The alternative is to likely be dragged down with them.

Does it, though

They think the military is woke now. The only loyalty is to trump. Everything else peripheral

I think if you would have kept reading I further clarified.

Keep reading their comment -- they address that point nicely, I thought.
