I was in the Infantry. politics was very much mixed, libertarian, republican, democrat. My Platoon Leader who I'm still friends with on facebook, he was a very open democrat and also one of the coolest officers I knew in the Infantry. He is also one of the most MAGA as frick guys on my facebook feed.

ACTUAL genocidal Marxists recognize that an educated populace is their WORST ENEMY.

Well, that is probably true of ANY wannabe authoritarian.

Yeah, just look at all of those bachelor's degrees standing in the welfare line waiting for free handouts.

I have a bachelor's degree and I find the left to be despicable and dangerous.

Toss in the fact that the military is comprised of lots of minorities and immigrants and people who aren’t citizens yet it would surprise many who have no relationship or a narrow one how many democrats there are in the military


I knew several foreigners when I was in the Navy. Several guys from West African countries like Ghana and Nigeria were appalled at the behavior of American blacks in general. Actual African immigrants are some of the nicest, hardest working people you will ever meet, and they're very right leaning.

No greater example than the fear of education by the church, slave holders and dictators all. They despise intellectuals, dismiss science and hate the press. Education, having logical reasons for strange shite and speaking truth to power is terrifying to a wanna be dictator. If you find a group vilifying academia, the press and openly identifying a “them” they are going to be a problem for decent society soon if left unchecked. Fortunately man has proven time and again to defeat those kinds of idiots.

West Indians also. And I agree they lean right.....but they do not support the GOP because of the GOPs refusal to own the inherent bias of any majority aimed at all minorities. Atlanta has a HUGE African and Caribbean immigrant community. I have been blessed to become very good friends with many of both.... they are the hardest t working people I know, they are staunchly religious whether they be Christians or Muslims and they FEAR government for good reason.....they have seen what government corruption does to society..... they don’t need convoluted conspiracy theories to feel persecuted..... thus they know full well they have no seat in the GOP tent.

Hispanics are equally conservative but find no seat in that tent because the extreme right has all of the chairs.

Frick anyone in the military that supports Biden after what Trump has done for them. They have short memories recalling the facts about how what shape the Obama/Biden administration left them in.

He probably realized Trump is just controlled opposition. A classic "Judas Goat". We out here at each others throats while our nation is being plundered. How many trillions did Trump add to the national debt? 7? 8? Ah who cares as long as the dollar remains king right??

Do you think you're clever or sly limping everything in together?


You're ignoring some extremely egregious abuses by the press and "science", as you put it, throughout history.

Again, this is such a horribly ignorant and terrifying statement by you that I'm shocked you even thought to post here.

Its unbelievable how people like you exist, and your type is the reason horrible rulers have existed through history.


Academia is hilariously awful in many cases. Are you saying that it's dangerous to challenge theories peddled in psychology, sociology, and history?


You would have fit in well in Hitler's third Reich.

He's not thinking for himself. He's made his decision based on the opinions of others and he's not making any effort to investigate for himself. People like this BIL are why the Russian collusion hoax, the "very fine people" hoax, the "Covid is a hoax" hoax, and all other such lefty hoaxes still persist.

There's your answer. The MI folks I know think we should be free to do whatever we want without oversight or accountability.

Except the amount of educated people in this country is declining. The amount of credentialed people is rising.

Credentials != Educated

This proven time and time again in the media at multiple levels on multiple subjects.

And in this circle jerk (I guess it’s just linear) between you and gtmo it’s the right who wants an authoritarian government? It’s not the party of selectively shutting down private business, protected classes, “bake that cake”, gun control, etc, etc, etc. No no no, THOSE aren’t the authoritarians, it’s the people who want a smaller federal government and to generally be left alone.

Asinine, even for you.

My experience was that the infantry leaned heavy right and libertarian vs liberal. Probably 80-20 if I had to guess. I think the main cause is that the black population is skewed down in combat arms.

You're going to find that at the official level, the Military is among the most cucked institutions that you'll ever see. There may be resistance to it among lower ranked white males (who are still the majority), but from the O6 level all the way to the SecDef, it's globohomo with guns.

Unless your universities indoctrinate Marxism in the malleable, young adults attending a class of a professor that's never had a job in the real world.

The commies said it best. They will slowly leak socialism until Americans wake up to full blown communism. This is why self-educated people push back so hard against AOC and BLM and the likes.
