For those of you so worried about a civil war and the military siding with the right-wing

Here's some army demographic information from 2016 that shows that whites only make up 53% of the enlisted ranks. Now unless you think every single white person in the military is racist I doubt that the military will be on the side of the rednecks. And if you do think that well then fuck you, that's not why I nor many other white folks joined.

Felt like listening to the Pixies last night and just found out their bassist, Kim Shattuck just died yesterday morning.
