Because we know how well Trump talked about and regarded the troops.
Are these fools too stupid to look at the latest bills supporting vets and how republicans voted?
It’s mind blowing how republicans are able to convince people to vote against their own self interests so voraciously.
Many republicans, I think it’s most personally, think republicans are trash. They think they themselves are trash.
If you are in the military and know you are trash; think most of your comrades are trash; think most humans are trash, then why wouldn’t you support the overthrow of the government?
Trump isn’t insulting these people when he insults the troops. He’s saying what they already believe about themselves.
No, they just have a complete lack of self awareness. They all think they're the "good one" and other people doing the same thing are somehow different and bad. I think the clearest example is food stamps. Why will a group of people who disproportionately rely on food stamps vote to cut funding for them? It's because they feel like they work hard and deserve help, but through a total lack of self awareness and/or empathy they think other people on food stamps are lazy. Usually this is just lightly veiled racism because usually the "other" is a racial minority and it's a way to call black people lazy.
I’ve spoken with some of these Republicans. What I’ve described is what they themselves have said of themselves and their colleagues.
Some of these folks have a lot of self loathing. Needing food stamps isn’t shameful but for many of these folks it is and they hate themselves and their brethren as a result of it.
