The crowd at Fort Bragg was told to Boo former President Joe Biden today
A man who held nothing but respect for the military
A man who lost his son who served honorably
And the piece of garbage, who they were told to cheer for today, is a draft-dodging, traitor who is now going to rename military bases after Confederate Generals
WTF is happening to our country?

Theyve been shoving Christian nationalism down recruits throats at every academy for decades.
The military is naturally fascistic and authoritarian.

(1,267 posts)Trump praised Robert E. Lee.
Robert E. Lee deserves no accolades.
When the Southern army went north of the Mason-Dixon line, they engaged in slave hunts.
Did Lee as head of the commanding army put a stop to this practice? No.
Lee was given the chance to do the right thing by Lincoln; but he refused.
Lee might say he was a child of Virginia but in fact he only lived a few miles from Washington DC.
And Trump's idea that who follows him will not change the name is sure nonsense.
It will be changed again.

(21,354 posts)is what I called it a few times during his first term. I expected him then to make some movement toward restoring slavery, maybe expanding prison labor or worse. You know damn well the guy with a history of shafting his employees and others and who couldn't care less about other people would own and whip a hundred slaves into submission if he could. Maybe he and his gang will try to repeal the 13th Amendment. I just noticed one of the GQPers is questioning the existence of a minimum wage. Maybe that's where they'll start.
