Thank you for your service (the not voting for Trump part; my friends who were in the military just see it as a job and cringe when people thank them, so I won't do that).
Eh no one says it anymore after you take off the uniform. I appreciate it.

I feel like we should all just start telling it to teachers instead.
Appreciate you for all of that. Thank you
You are welcome. Sorry I wasn't looking for people to thank me.
For real man

"[But] when you’re dealing with veterans, you have to be more intentional with your actions."
Translation from Republican bullshit: "I voted for Trump to hurt other people. He wasn't supposed to hurt me."
Asshole.
Yeah. I hope they cut even more as a giant "get fucked". They'll all vote red again next time anyways, so might as well go hard I guess.
This is directed toward the vets that voted red. If you didn't, please disregard lol
Y'all wouldn't listen when we told you how bad Trump was. You deserve whatever you get now.
They only start caring when Trump’s decisions hurt them. Given he voted for Trump, I bet he couldn’t care less about all the people Trump has hurt in the last 8 years.
He literally ran on a platform of hurting people.
Who can have foreseen this? Not I certainly
Just gonna keep putting this out there. All of us, by just being here aren't average or normal people. They are. And while it can be fun and cathartic to ridicule them. Local news papers everywhere have gone bust. Local television stations across the country were struggling and swept up like a lot of AM radio stations. Into a national propaganda sphere. Cocooning these people in a sealed misinformation bubble.
It doesn't matter that the facts are available on the internet. Lots of people still live their lives without it. Even then, there's just as much misinformation and confirmation bias on the internet. We desperately need to find some way of reaching these people and exposing them to the lying media they rely on. Plenty of them would be up in arms and outraged if they fully understood. We need to focus on outreach to groups like this more than ridicule. Their regret may be too little too late. But ultimately something is more than nothing. Fascist groups like Sinclair will get us all killed if we don't.
Were not going to find ways to reach this aging population. Short of bringing back all the small town news papers and removing Sinclair from local news station, nothing will help them. They let the world pass them by and now they will rage at how much their lives suck until they enter the next phase of the human lifecycle. You can't save them and frankly I think peoples efforts are better spent on literally anything else.

Yes you bring up many valid points. But the very same networks that they consume were showing trump, and trump saying that he would do these very things, or at the least how he hates veterans.

“Everybody can admit that we need to look at efficiency. It’s been a problem for decades,” Muro said. “[But] when you’re dealing with veterans, you have to be more intentional with your actions. You have to be more surgical. … It’s almost like he’s trying to tear the VA down.”
When you're dealing with... anything... mate.
Yea, it's almost like he's trying to tear your whole government apart
It's like even now he's just bummed that it happened to him or people he knows but still doesn't see the big fucking picture.
"Tear all government out, except the particular part which benefits me!"
What a pathetic narcissistic moron.
Yeah... No sympathy here at all. 61% of veterans voted for trump after they were already screwed over in Trump's first term and told to their faces that project 2025 involved screwing over veterans this time around and the majority of them voted to be bent over and screwed.
Well good sirs and madams, welcome to your dildo of consequences, they rarely come lubed, enjoy your stay in destination fucked.
Fuck him, he EARNED his firing.
If he got his job back, he'd vote for HitlerPig again in a second.
Same old same old
Republicans are the easiest people to scam, they will fall for anything.
@MicroWave He served his country then betrayed his country. Now I have regrets and don't care about his.
"no no no, hurt THOSE people" ~ that guy probably
Most soldiers aren't politically astute. On the other hand SCOTUS folk, who are supposed to be wise and informed, gave Krasnov the green light to completely ignore the judiciary - that's a whole 'nother another level of stupidity.
Yes, I certainly feel bad that the guy who took an oath to defend the constitution and then betrayed that oath by voting in a traitor is having a hard time now because of that vote. I am so, so sympathetic.

It takes a special kind of stupid to vote for a convicted felon and serial rapist.
Well, him and his MAGA buddies can go suck Dick in alley to make ends meet.
The media is addicted to centering the Trump voter. They ran plenty of stories about voters with buyers remorse in his first term, at this point its simply 'I told you so' porn. We're not learning anything new, especially not the Trump voters.
Gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps. That's the MAGA way, right?
Repubs are dumber than dogshit.
Only cares because he's hurting veterans so fuck him.
It's almost as if letting billionaires buy the media landscape has political consequences....
