Army vs. McCarthy; Army vs. Trump; Army Wins

[signalmankenneth]

Designating members of the armed services who were killed, wounded, or captured as “losers,” denigrating John McCain for having been a POW, insisting that veterans’ parades not include any vets with visible wounds—it’s hard to keep track of President Trump’s many hatreds and rages, but his enmity against soldiers and sailors still ranks as a real lulu. Need I add, a self-destructive lulu.

In a Military Times poll of active-duty armed-forces members taken in late July and early August (that is, before The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg surfaced and resurfaced examples of Trump’s disdain for our grunts), Joe Biden led Trump by a 41 percent to 37 percent margin. This despite the fact that 40 percent of respondents identified themselves as Republicans or libertarians, while just 16 percent said they were Democrats.

Trump has proven again and again, that he can say anything he wants and not lose his base. The rights here never move away no matter how crazy Trump is.

Orwellian:

Unfortunately many ppl practice self-deception & self-censorship..

Self-censorship comes w/ variations, including lying to self & believing it, eventhough they are aware of the obvious contradictions............

Personally I tried & lacked the mental discipline to continue..

I read a book, or perhaps a pamphlet called [opening the closed mind] many years ago & the author points out that many ppl have the ability two hold two conflicting mutually exclusive ideas simultaneously & not see a conflict. Cross_Trump-View_v_Evangelicals.jpg

I have read more since & it is clear that far to many if given contrary/contradictory evidence they will refuse to accept it and sadly double down on their mistake/error, becoming more harden in their positions.......

Haters are going to choose hate. Hate is the only thing they can relate to.

Racists are going to choose racism. That is the only thing they can relate to!

Liars and cheaters are going to choose liars and cheaters- That is the only thing they can relate to.

Misogynists are going to choose Misogynists!

We are who we vote for. We choose leaders who best represent us!
