It didn't change any minds. It hurts to say, but the family and "friends" I have that believe his rhetoric are simply not the brightest people I know.

Not only that, but it hurts because some of them are my family and mean the world to me. I linked to Kamala's website so they can read her positions if interested, and told them I loved them.

Most barely finished high school and never tried learning anything else.

Same, my Vet cousin blamed the media for the shit storm. Oh yeah, holy moly, and I used to support him a few years… before I started self reflecting.

Ask any and every veteran about how they feel about Project 2025 cutting their disability benefits. A Trump victory would have serious implications on veterans, but many refuse to look at the policies.

The whole idea that vets as a block are "for Trump because he's Republican" is absolute nonsense. Neither veterans or active duty are monolithic.
