I’ve been struggling with the cognitive dissonance that all of my family are veterans and most are somehow conservative thanks to religion. Wearing the uniform and voting for these traitorous shitbags is still baffling to me.
That shit will never add up to me. It’s bad enough to see the switch from, “support our troops!” fervor directly to Trump’s, “I don’t like soldiers who get caught,” and the various other outright scandalous things he’s explicitly said about the military and individuals who have served… I can’t even imagine that happening in a military family.
Just shows how insane this is. It’s like a fucking social contagion.
If your girlfriend’s dad is sitting at a table with 10 Nazis, then you have a table of 11 Nazis.
Trust me, I get it. I’ve been grappling with the fact that my parents are fucking fascists.
