Without evidence, the Republican vice presidential candidate tried to cast doubt on his opponentās obvious momentum: āIf you talk to insiders in the Kamala Harris campaign, theyāre very worried about where they areā
Youāve heardĀ Donald Trump cryĀ āfakenewsā too many times to count, and now his running mate is claiming ā without evidence ā that the media is using āfake pollsā to show Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris is in the lead in the presidential race.
In an interview onĀ Fox News Sunday, Sen.Ā J.D. Vance alleged that āThe media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters.ā
The military is more liberal than you think. Yeah their area shit heads in every org and a 18 year old private is always going to be stupid and buy that charger and say stupid shit. But the NCO rank and file are not the same old guard from the 80s and the army is making changes to appeal to GenZ to help with recruitment. E.G base name changes and leave requests for family planning, etc. But also Vets that have been down range got to know groups liked the Kurds and are very pissed what Trump did to them.
While I would hope so, Iāve known more than a few vets. A few are fairly moderate to liberal, but a whole bunch are MAGAts. Maybe thatās just because I do as many 2-gun competitions as I can, and the MAGAt vet-bros are self-selecting to be there because they didnāt do enough run-and-gun when they were in the military, IDK.
yeah I can see that self selecting is to blame. Most of the Vets I know after I got out that are more liberal you canāt even tell they are a Vet. It the people that make the military their core identity. Like the idiots that wear tactical gear and special forces t-shirts. Like the last thing I ever want to see is a plate carrier or ruck again lol. Those combat ball caps they sell at the VA are so cringe itās worse when they are under the age of 70 wearing them.
Ha, and I do it for fun. But I think that the plate + carrier loadout I wear in two gun is a lot lighter and less restrictive than the IOTV and full combat load. I also donāt have people shooting at me or have to worry about frag, because 2-gun in fundamentally a game.
But even most of the vets Iāve known outside of that were generally more conservative than the general population. It could be the area Iām in; Iām in the deep south. But even when I was Illinois, the people that I knew were vetsāand not the vet-bro stereotypeātrended more conservative than not.
lol you do you I guess Iām just not high speed, lol Were they active duty or retired? Also I noticed that Guard skewed more conservative than AD but donāt know why. Honestly i think that might be my dad was republican so I guess I am too but that would align the same with civilian population.
I just visited my ex-FiL at the VA hospital and heās telling people that now that heās sitting around watching TV, he realizeshr can no longer think of himself as Conservative because heās liberal as hell relative to MAGAts
