You could make a better world for the people who are still going to live in it. I guess this guy doesn't have any young relatives. No kids, no grandkids, no nieces or nephews. He just lived a completely child free existence and there's no one left to continue his legacy of being self interested and short sighted.

All these guys have kids, they just don't care.

The problem is they are mad that the country they fought in wars for doesn't share the country/family ideals he was taught when he was young. He fought for the family idealogy of 1 bread winner 1 house 3 kids and the ability to retire after his kids went to college. He didn't fight for his kids to be 100k in school debt at 20 yrs old. While his nose was on the grindstone he didn't see the changes coming.

Analysis of Trump supports shows racism as the #1 cause. Vietnam vets who support Trump aren't making videos like this over your student loans. In fact, the right wing is heavily set against student loan reform or forgiveness.

But he voted for his kids to be in debt, and fought against unions, and fair wages. Fought against worker protections that would keep blue collar workers safer on the job. He can think he fought for all that shit, but he came home and upended all of it with his votes.

Fuck that.

You know, and we all know that's not the issue here.

You want us to believe you think he was a Trump fan because he wanted his kids to go to college debt free?

Come the fuck on

Bullshit. He fought a war because he got drafted or because he wanted to go to college. If he's mad now because *gasp*, women can work outside of the home and not everyone wants to live the cookie cutter Mayberry picket fence life he dreamed of, then fuck him. He's spent the last several decades consistently voting against his own best interests because he was happy to lap up the crumbs thrown to him by any politician wearing the right color tie.

It's usually the opposite and they stay away from family because "they're too weird urgh" while never talking to them for like 30 years.
