I was going to say that in previous years when dealing with a BIL who is a shithead CHUD, never served, and is a ~*~Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine~*~ he would make the same argument whenever I called him out on foreign policy stuff. I'd let him spout dumb domestic stuff but foreign policy is my wheelhouse.

Also, maybe just Navy versus other branches, but our intel guys were usually left leaning or classic neocons. The exception being the intel center OIC who, when I came back from AFG after the last election, changed all the TVs from HLN or sometimes FNC to OANN and not even football on Sundays.

When I was in the S2 shop for a bit, most of the intel folks were left leaning, though there have been some unfortunate exceptions that honestly hurt to learn how lovely they were, especially after a good friend killed himself last year.

I feel like the Trump support will eventually turn into somewhat of a fad where many people will move on and only the most hardcore are still crowing about "fraud" 2 or 3 years from now but, Jesus, is this country hosed for the next few years at minimum because Trump has done his damnedest to divide it.

I've got a longtime friend working Intel for the Air Force in Germany and, while he hasn't publicly said anything on social media about the election, is a conservative Christian and I would bet voted for Trump at minimum. Whether he believes the garbage about a rigged election is unclear.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
The only leftist I ever met in the Army was one of my 1SGs which was honestly one of the weirdest discoveries I ever made in the military. We were TDY for a month and it turned into me and my 1SG arguing and making GBS threads on the West Pointer CPT and LT we had on our team.

Otherwise combat arms NCOs are by and large nothing but chuds. I wish I could say one of the NCOs in my platoon wasn't a complete chud but I can't. Guess an uneducated white dude will just act as an uneducated white dude does.

My first squad in the Infantry was all Center Left Leaning. I mean, still Conservative in a bunch of facets, but remarkably Left for an 03 squad of Grunts.

Weirdly enough, one of the more lefty guys I knew from the Guard became a hardcore Trumpist.

I'm pretty sure most (or at least a vocal minority) of the people I served with were pretty left leaning.

Then again, I was "that guy" who would start those conversations. I liked seeing people trip over themselves.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

I've seen some active duty SIGINTers with active TS/SCI clearances posting Q nonsense and Russia interference denial so it's definitely possible.

Many NCOs I've met and all but maybe 1 or 2 SNCOs are garbage CHUDs because of the same reason they all suck at their MOS skills. The leadership ranks are so full of trash it chases out all of the good people the first chance they get, so only more trash stays in to replace them.

I always wondered if intel guys are more susceptible to bullshit, because they’re often trying make major conclusions, based on slim or minimal evidence (nature of the game). Then again perhaps that’s what separates the quality intel guys from someone even the B-Team* would give a cockeyed look too.

*Not that I think the idea of having a separate team going form the opposite conclusion is a bad idea.

Oh that's a cute stunt, the Trump plan might be to run out the certification of states votes until 1 month before inauguration, where it then falls to the House to vote for President. Each state appoints 1 elector to vote, and Trump wins because Republicans have more states by number than Democrats.

12th Amendment dictates that if no candidate shall have a majority of electors before the deadline that it falls to the House to elect the President.

Yeah. They are building up an impressive body of evidence for when they try to file injunctions against certification in PA or GA. Just that body of evidence is how they've repeatedly tried to delay the counting of ballots so they can force an injunction.

Nah, don't sully the reputation of rats by comparing them to Trump. At least rats are generally smart enough to not drown. Trump's purposefully chained himself to the ship's wheel and is trying to rip the life vests off anyone that he sees.

Besides, look a this little goober.
