I said this in another thread and I will keep repeating it because I think it’s important: if you know anyone who is a veteran or has a loved one who is a veteran, make sure they know that veteran’s benefits will be severely cut if Project 2025 is implemented.
As someone currently serving, it fucking boggles my mind that anyone who has ever served could be in favor of the Republican party. Even without Project 2025 threatening veteran benefits.
So many of us have been to actual locations where the Church has a stranglehold on the government/is the government. My husband has stories from Afghanistan. I went to Qatar, which, is a “progressive” middle eastern country. I could wear tshirts and knee length shorts, but I was also not allowed to ride in an elevator with the opposite sex, and I was heavily questioned when I tried to buy cigarettes until a male coworker intervened and assured that I could. Not to mention the FUCKING INSANE wealth disparity. Palaces gilded in gold for the government/rich/churches and literal shacks made out of whatever material could be cobbled together in the rural areas outside of Doha.
Why the fuck would anyone who has seen that first hand want to support anything that could even remotely resemble a world like that?
Then they’ll get out and pay attention to how much the GOP hates funding the VA and veteran programs in general.
Republicans as a party are generally “Support the troops but fuck the veterans!” just like always. It blows my mind that there are veterans that are also working class that are MAGA because they are getting fucked over twice as much from the very party that they support.

it’s like “save the fetuses but fuck the newly born, especially if you’re not white and without parents in a heterosexual relationship!”
Because they think they’ll be the ones in the gold palaces, and they don’t give a fuck about anybody else
And to highlight how bad those benefits actually are, only around 18% of veterans get the benefits they’re entitled to.
