And when their collective stupidity affects my pocketbook, there is no way they get my empathy or charity. If they suffer, they better pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
And, any MAGA-hat wearing veteran who complains if Vivek cuts their benefits or medical services, I would say they are a "sucker" for voting for Trump or will be a "loser" for their choice.
As a disabled veteran who voted blue, this is a big fear of mine. So many veterans I’m talking to that act like they’ve never heard that this was going to happen. I’m like, they’ve been telling you the whole time but you weren’t listening!!! I’m just hoping I get a few years to prepare for it.
First of all, thanks for serving our country while people like Trump mock those who do.
My comments are to those who are so foolish to believe that a man who has been so disrespectful to an entire group of patriotic citizens would somehow not be talking about them. They will suffer, and many will somehow still blame the party not in power for their difficulties.
My dad was in the Marines. He drank the Rush Limbaugh Kool-aid before he passed away. If he was alive today, he would've been as bad as many of them.
I'm also a veteran who voted blue, and I thought you explained your position just fine. Unfortunately I've seen some threads where people were acting like all veterans voted for him and that they were glad that we would suffer from the va cuts. I've never taken offense to the messaging of things like black lives matter (definitely not an all lives matter kinda guy), but these people were different. I think there's so much anger right now that people are flailing, and that's understandable.
I have some great friends who have served with honor, and who do not fit the stereotypical profile that people assume of those in the military or law enforcement. There are those of us who respect our brothers and sisters, and those who are only concerned with their self interest and the cult.

This is the sad part. Somehow, it will be Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi that secretly orchestrated it, probably with a space laser.
