My dad, a legitimate baby boomer, not just an "older white guy" has no idea that he's actually hated by other Biden voters.. Trump is the reason for everything wrong, while before Trump it was Bush, even all throughout Obama.. Bush Bush bush, Trump Trump Trump. I think he posted more about Trump and did more to get him elected than most Republicans - of course he wouldn't understand what I was saying if I tried explaining that to him.
The guy cites the media chopped sound bytes they do as though they are scripture, written by God's own hand.
I have to keep reminding myself that he's a victim, he's been manipulated. PsOps are real, and so well done that "the other side" thinks the Right is the ones manipulated and lied to.
Cannot wait for the lid to come off, I want to see people puking in the street when they are shown what's what, and their gods are exposed.

My in-laws.
Old white democrats who have no idea the inner-city minorities HAAAAAAAATE THEM and their children and grandchildren. We tried to tell them but they just can't fathom. It was like explaining a cell phone to an ant.
I am a veteran, and that was my experience, mental breakdown and all. It's not fucking cool to be sent somewhere as mafia enforcers, leg breakers, while the mission is disguised under the color of patriotism and love of freedom.
My childhood was filled with some of the greatest recruitment tools used on American youth, like G.I. Joe and Red Dawn, and of course all the WW2 - Vietnam classic movies always playing on our 3-station tv set. All lies. Didn't know then, but know it now.
On your point, what really makes me angry is finding out about how the "WARS" were perpetrated for profit, power and gain for the "elite". Think of how many of our men/women died or returned home seriously injured or mentally damaged. All for what???? Looking at the injured vets that have returned home from all these years in the ME, makes me seethe with anger at the people that sent them in to harms way for NOTHING!
I used to want for others to have my experiences, so that they could see the world the way I see it for even just a moment.... But that would mean war and the results of war, so I don't feel that way anymore.
Before Trump and Q, I thought there were no more good guys left, or even that they never even existed in the first place.. Now I can say that isn't the case anymore, and what they're doing has reminded me of why I joined the military in the first place, the reason that was used to manipulate me into making terrible choices.
It's so fucked up... All the deaths that I'm responsible for cannot be blamed on anyone else. There's no, "I was following orders." ..no, I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Each Marine in my former chain of command has their own consequences to deal with now - any one of us could have said no at any point and maybe spent some time in Leavenworth or even worse, but we didn't. In my case, I actually exceeded expectations and orders (got a medal for it - which I burned years later) by piecing together snippets of Intel I had been receiving to locate a previously unknown Republican Guard unit SSE of Baghdad - want to know what happened from the report I made? It went to the top of the Chain, they ordered an 'operational pause' and bombed the ever living fuck out of the area in question. Absolutely saved Marine lives, for that I'm grateful, but at the cost of uncountable Iraqi civilians and military - ultimately we should have never ever been there in the first place.
No, I do not want anyone to have my wartime experiences.. However the waking up part, oh yeah, that's a unique ride and a half that everyone should take for a spin.
I can only imagine the horrors that sometimes still live in your mind from what you've seen and been through. I'm sorry for how it has affected your life. I do thank you for stepping forward for taking on a cause you and many of us at the time, thought was a just cause. Take care of yourself my friend.

My husband is a Viet Nam vet, and he has the same feelings as you now.
