    All of your points boil down to things that actually can’t be found in Project2025 it seems. Removal of DEI is the only point I see here that is actually in there… And honestly… DEI just doesn’t/isn’t work/working IMO. Working for an R1 University, I sat on the board that hired people in my department. Those with qualifications were overlooked and were not hired… those without qualifications were voted against by the board and were still hired… They held some form of race

    Those links… none of them actually state what parts of the Project2025 say these things. It’s more of the same handwavy “well it says it somewhere in there” with no direct quotes or evidence otherwise.

    Also, I’m sorry if I made you feel disrespected, I wasn’t trying to do that.

    I don’t expect civilians to understand military at all. I don’t hold you to any standard in that respect (unless you try to speak authoritatively on any of it). However, commander in chief, I would hold to the highest standard.

    But I still think Trump is clearly the more dangerous choice - hell any Republican would be seeing what they’ve done in red states, not to mention how he plans on not conceding if he loses. (Not how democracy works)

    Not from my perspective. And especially not after seeing the assassination attempt of Trump on the news literally an hour ago.

      We get it, you’re a Trump supporter. I’m glad you felt safe during his presidency, unfortunately an easy 45% of the American population (queer and minority groups) did not feel this way and were vilified by Trump and his supporters during his presidency, so that “assassination” attempt that definitely wasn’t staged somehow changes your mind against all the violence that his party has promoted? All the hatred and vitriol he created just poof wiped away because supposedly a leftist “shot a pellet” at him, which is an assassination attempt?

      Come off it. By supporting Trump you know what you stand for and what you’re promoting, and you should know all the awful things he’s said about veterans too, but that doesn’t seem to matter since you’ve only expressed contempt for Biden doing it. And the VA under Trump? As if, absolutely laughable. Yeah the VA under Trump did a great job for my grandpa struggling with lung cancer. They did a great job for my grandma after his passing. The VA is and has been junk, Trump did nothing for it.

      Don’t act like being against Genocide Joe is some true path to Democracy. Trump will kill more Palestinian’s in a year through his rhetoric to his supporters alone all while helping Isreal even more. Sanctions wouldn’t even be a discussion, like they have been under Biden. I honestly am appalled that anyone could see the events of 2016-2020 and think that Trump would make these peoples lives safer (U.S. Palestinians). We even have a prime example of him floundering aid to Ukraine, and it’s definitely not like Trump would have had any impeding motives help Ukraine against Russia.

      If you think Trump will help make your life better when he’s president, he won’t, so you can stop defending him and giving him the benefit of the doubt.
