Without evidence, the Republican vice presidential candidate tried to cast doubt on his opponent’s obvious momentum: “If you talk to insiders in the Kamala Harris campaign, they’re very worried about where they are”
You’ve heard Donald Trump cry “fakenews” too many times to count, and now his running mate is claiming — without evidence — that the media is using “fake polls” to show Vice President Kamala Harris is in the lead in the presidential race.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Sen. J.D. Vance alleged that “The media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters.”
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, I’ve known more than a few vets. A few are fairly moderate to liberal, but a whole bunch are MAGAts. Maybe that’s 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 didn’t 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 can’t 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 it’s 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 don’t have people shooting at me or have to worry about frag, because 2-gun in fundamentally a game.
But even most of the vets I’ve known outside of that were generally more conservative than the general population. It could be the area I’m in; I’m in the deep south. But even when I was Illinois, the people that I knew were vets–and not the vet-bro stereotype–trended more conservative than not.
