    And how many enlisted men will continue to support him and vote for him? How many vets will give up their families instead of giving up their cult-like reverence for him?

    Just an astounding level of ignorance in this country.

      Actually, at this point it’s more than ignorance, it’s straight up malice. We have to understand that the proles on the right live in an echo chamber and will never see this story, and that’s by design. Between the Fox News deliberately and knowingly misleading the country about it, and more important, the entire Republican Party (with your occasional Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, etc.) it hard for the rank and file to have any real clue what’s going on. Toss in years of ensuring that their base is not educated through their deliberate dismantling of public education and religious indoctrination. It’s extremely important to note that you don’t get to Trump without the entire party of complicit cowards who are either ignoring the damage he’s doing, or are actively encouraging it because they’re traitorous fucks, and that it hasn’t happened overnight. This has been a very long game, and it’s not an accident.
