I guess I will make this official. If your answer to every time I post about the damage being done to my fellow veterans, the VA, and our military is to say "Well...they voted for him..." I am just going to be blocking you. I am not even explaining how that's wrong anymore.

you are two giant, powerful populations that can change the minds of most Americans. Link arms and be vocal.
Stop Trump.
Veterans are demanding answers .
This is an update on the VA clinic in Fredericksburg, Virginia. https://www.fredericksburgfreepress.com/2025/02/20/new-va-clinic-to-open-march-3-in-spotsylvania/

I’ve never served; but many relatives have.
This massacre of veteran services is unconscionable!
We contact our Congressional representatives each weekday and have clearly let them know our positions!
Educating voters is the ongoing challenge--including enlightening many about the influence of FOX news on military bases, for example.
It's your prerogative to block but why would veterans in congress sell us out?
We have met the enemy and they are us.
I have a nephew that served in Da Nang with the Marines while I was in the Navy. He’s currently recovering from Inspire implant surgery performed by the VA at the VA in Martinez, CA.
Fully covered. We joke it was just in time.
I might sound like the crazy man with "End is near" signs, but I just think this will happen.
I'd like to say it will all be non-violent. I'd like to, but I don't know.
But here’s the deal — if they voted for him, it’s good they’re hurting. You’re wrong.
I’m glad for any person who voted for him to hurt. It’s called “saving America.” And you need to learn that and protect your nation.

He hasn't even apologized and they voted for disrespect again? It's not a DT problem. It's now a personal problem.
Maybe the block should be in reverse if there's not an understanding of such simple truth.
They can be redeemed and brought into the light
The VA has been so good to him through back surgery, shoulder replacements, vaccines, prescriptions, hearing aids and glasses. I'm scared of what happens next.
if "they voted for it" is your response, you're part MAGA
Some have a tendency to laugh or cry, some become indignant or despondent.
The woman who voted for trump? Yes, she hurts too. We need to help her out, even if she hasn't learned her lesson. We need to stick together.
Same for all the Veterans.
#FAFO
What is the best message to turn these vets around, though? Too many seem to think 45/7 didn’t “purposely” harm them.
The voters need to hear: "You've been lied to."
Frame it as a betrayal rather than an accusation or dismissal to undermine the edges of his support.
He talks out of both sides of his face. Truth is the illusion of the moment to get the goal at any cost. The price is lives.
He has ZERO respect for us veterans.
Respect is earned from both parties.
Semper Fi.
Of course there are the MAGA minority that we actively steer clear of.
No demographic in this country is 100% to either side of the political spectrum.
This anger is misplaced; at the end of this depravity, all of these folks will recover and heal, but ONLY if we are prepared to help them. And we have to help ourselves heal too.
I was charitable the first time around, but after the shit I've put up with from both my employer & family over the years, I'm not as inclined to be generous.
Block me if that will make you feel better.
Not that there wasn't fishy seeming stuff domestically, too.

And yes, Merrick Garland was deathly slow. Can't go back now.
"Two daughters of a New York podiatrist say that 50 years ago their father diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs in his heels as a favor to the doctor's landlord, Fred Trump, The New York Times reported Wednesday."
I will suggest this, though. Of course it is insensitive.
Responses like that express a lashing out of rage and grief for the dying of our nation. We wish, at least for a moment, harm on every single participant who brought us here, knowing we now can do nothing about it.
It’s not vindictiveness. It’s hope for the future.
Dear God in Heaven, please hear me. Make every voter suffer so they can repent and this nation can be saved.
Wake up.
But my wishes mean nothing.
So if in a weak moment I wish harm upon the perpetrators, that wish does nothing more than wishes to spare them did.
I didn't vote for him, and I'm already suffering. I will continue to suffer through his entire wretched reign.
I don't see why those who DID vote for him shouldn't suffer too.
I think Fred’s point is that anyone that isn’t rich will suffer and we should have compassion for all of them.
Love, the True North 🇨🇦
My beloved used to say, "Don't look at me -- I know I'm the demographic, I'm an old white guy, but I didn't vote for him!"
What’s your +/- on when we actually dump the phones…get off our asses…and get in their fcking faces???????????
Twice. 😀
This is why people should not vote for delusional nutjobs.

"My daughter is a federal worker whose job is under attack right now by President Elmo and his lackey, the bronze buffoon. Please help me to bombard their email server with nonsense. Here is the email address: [email protected]"
Thank you for making good trouble!
The military and VA are being destroyed too

If anything, Trumpism I think tends to attract more cosplaying Rambo wannabes than actual service men and women. And those who served know the difference.
They can be held accountable when you prevail as to step aside does not mean they are forgiven as the error is just put to one side for the sake of Unity
Appreciate you Brother.
We must stand together. It doesn’t matter at this point that they voted for him that’s over. We are on the next chapter.
Republicans are turning. And when they turn, they need to be accepted for that. Not crucified at the stake.
Save that for Trump and those fucking criminals.
Unfortunately, for you to save your country and the people in it, you’re going to need them to fight with you in the end.
