My parents care on the micro level, where it applies to people they directly know, but have no ability to show empathy on the macro level and it breaks my heart.
i have a bro thats leaning joe rogean, trump alot, just because hes consuming alot mma material, plus is those typical gymbros.
I'm guessing they consume a lot of Fox News or similar? Propaganda works.
It takes a certain type of fundamentally fucked-up personality to consider that killing and maiming is an acceptable career. The military then spends vast sums on further brutalising those people until they kill on command without question. Violence and cruelty stalk their lives. He is One of Us, therefore he is better than One of Them.
they also spend alot on propaganda, in putting it in a positive light, ever notice how movies/shows with us military never are the bad guy, its because they lease out thier equipment on the conditions they must be good PR, not negative, there is some wiggle room though. plus they need the military propaganda for recruiting cannon fodder/ selecting from officer schools/rotc through these movies and shows.

They're dumb and/or terrible people. It happens.
What do they say about him?
I can fully understand somebody having no opinion, but actively liking him? There must be positive stories about him on the far right news networks that I am not familiar with.
Fox News.
Judge someone by the company they keep.
Could it be that they’re morons? I mean. No offense to those in the armed services, but there’s a reason the minimum IQ requirements to enlist is roughly 20 points below the average score.
This doesn’t mean that our armed service members are all idiots, but it does illustrate the fact that there idiots allowed to walk among the ranks.
Thats the thing! They most definitely are not! My dad has a degree in computer science, (never did anything with it) and my mom has a degree in ... well accounting, but she is smart, I promise. I think they are just so incredibly gullible. You know that saying, its easy to trick someone with a lie but impossible to convince someone of the truth, or something like that. I think deep down, they know they are wrong, but they dont want to admit that they part of the problem.
Intelligence and common sense are not mutually exclusive. Dr. Oz is an accomplished surgeon, and a complete idiot.
Rudy Giuliani passed the NY State Bar Exam and is the poster child for window-licking buffoonery.
the poster child for window-licking buffoonery.
I've never heard this before. It's amazing.

They’re shitty people
I like him for the meme material.
The military and drinking are like peas and carrots
if its been happening for a while, or shows no signs of changing, cut them off. like alot of people on some subs did with thier magatty family members.
They're nothing more than just going along with what Rome has planned. D.C. is the military and intelligence capital of the world, and Italy made it that way for a reason.
Wat?
Your parents are siblings, right?
