I'm a lifetime VFW auxiliary member in a Red area. Stolen valor is a big fucking deal around here. New ammo added
I'm pretty sure red supporters are willing to donate valor for the Führer.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. Stolen valor means that someone is pretending that they were a member of the military. It's extremely disrespectful to people that actually worked in the military, regardless of political leaning
Trump has also posted images of himself as Jesus Christ, which is extremely disrespectful to the conservative Christians that make up a large part of his voting base. And yet that wasn’t a dealbreaker for them.
The point is that “disrespectful” isn’t enough. Trump wasn’t lying when he said he could murder someone in the middle of the street, and still get votes. His voting base is that entrenched.
It isn't enough for him to just be disrespectful. You have to confront them with it in an honest, in-person conversation. Deprogramming is a process, not just a one-off thing. That's what I'm going to be using this post for.
There's a laundry list of reprehensible things that should have snapped Republicans out of their stupor, even with their different value set. His "Losers and Suckers" remark about the Arlington dead was from his first term.
They don't care. He's given them permission to be reprehensible to the people they hate and they will give him a pass for absolutely everything in return. It's a cult.
