    This is something that is truly baffling to me. Veterans almost universally not only vote Republican but are fervent supporters of Republican agenda and year after year, without fail, Republicans try to fuck them over specifically. It’s so weird to me.

    Already with this term… Veterans are beneficiaries of a shit ton of DEI programs. Like a TON. And they are actively voting to get rid of all of them.

      God, the fucking assumptions people make when they find out you’re a veteran! I swear people will be like, “Ah, a fellow veteran, aren’t you glad they’re kicking out all the trans people?” Wtf, no, you asshole!

        Airport bars are the worst. I don’t know how many times I’ll be talking with someone that seems friendly enough just killing time. Then it will eventually get to this interaction

        Where are you from?

        Sigh

      Yup they don’t realize that, especially in colleges they are often given priority for classes
