Now they have no problem saying it out loud. AND ON MEMORIAL DAY!!!
The right-wing "conservatives" have for years disrespected and/or hated any service member or veteran who does not support right-wing ideology, and who is or was a member of a minority, despite all of this "thank you for your service" stuff.
Think of the way they have treated such people as Max Cleland, Tammy Duckworth, the Gold Star family of the late Captain Humayun Khan, and John Kerry, to name just a few. Female and LGBT service members are insulted about daily for merely choosing to serve their country.
Some months ago, I mentioned my cousin, a Marine Corps vet, who supported President Obama, Clinton's candidacy, and supports President Biden, on a USMB thread. Some right-wing type replied that my cousin has abandoned American values, and basically called him a traitor.
Notwithstanding the fact that my cousin volunteered to defend our nation and these values, apparently this guy thinks that he is not entitled to exercise his fundamental rights as an American because he is not a right-winger.
He took an oath to support and defend the constitution. If he supports people that dont give a shit about the constitution, then he IS a traitor. By definition.
Nobody gives a fuck about your "feelz"
Our military is pretty gung ho about appeasing the mentally ill. Among other things. Like putting out ads about "cis gender" or whatever those retards say.
If you have the integrity to consider his context, he is correct.
Of course, lys and synth do not have any. A couple of our resident losers.
How dare you assert that I lack integrity or that my cousin has betrayed his oath and is a traitor! We both do and always have supported and defended the Constitution of the United States.
If you think that my cousin's support and my support for candidates of one of the two major political parties makes us traitors, you are not a loyal American. It is our Constitutional right to make our own political choices. Being a loyal American does not equate to support for the republican party to any extent whatsoever.
You need to take some time reading and studying the Constition.
You are the one who lacks integrity. You probably cheered the traitorous attack on our government and Constitution on Jan. 6.
You both are. How can you"support the constitution" when you turn around and support people that shit all over it?
If you support the duopoly, you are a traitor. By definition.
The world isnt a binary. Sorry, its more complicated than that.
Exactly how have people who you don't like shit all over the Constitution? If anyone has shit all over the Constitution, it has been trump and his army of slobs.
Among many other things, he never acknowledged the authority of Congress. He tried to claim that he had absolute power and absolute immunity as if he were a medieval king. He never acknowledged that all Americans are entitled to the same rights. He exhibited open bigotry against many groups of Americans and open favoritism toward others. He exhibited extreme partisanship while in office, signaling that he was not the president of all Americans.
Trump himself has been the traitor-in-chief, and you folks who have followed him are traitors yourselves.
