In other words: there are a LOT of people in our exceptionally diverse US military who can absolutely be reasoned with and who don’t like Trump any more than we do.
Much, much more so than is the case with US cops.
Lot of people on here seem to assume that the US military is basically as bad as US police when it comes to “being totally dominated by frothing MAGA freaks.”
This is absolutely NOT the case.
There are certainly a lot of people who lean conservative in the military, and there definitely are some MAGA folk, but I've found that people consistently underestimate how many POC, immigrants, and LGBT people work in the military. A lot of people with disabled family members as well.
Every time I went up in rank in the military it seemed like the percentage of people who had a family member with a severe disability was higher. They were staying in longer because the health insurance was more affordable.
