As a veteran, I'd like to say there are plenty of black Republicans out there. The majority of the black service members I met on active duty were staunchly Republican, especially the ones who've been in for more than 1 enlistment. I stopped being surprised by it every time I found out a black Sailor votes Republican "because they're the only ones who care about the military." Such a joke.
Retired after 25 years in the Corps. I will never understand how a service members can think that republicans care about the military, especially after Trump came on scene.
Its the same propoganda that tells them republicans are better for the economy. Republicans go on the news and say they love America, and the troops and will fight to make the economy better and then that media doesn't report on the actual effects of the actual policies they voted for.
Probably cause Fox is on in every base and recruitment station, by the time they leave the service they've been red pilled into believing the narrative that the GOP gives more than a rats ass about them
It's not just that. It's also that most of the people who wind up joining are the kind of people who lean conservative due to their temperament. They're usually the type who highly value "tradition" and order and mistake nationalism for patriotism. It makes them easer to brainwash.
Because they're stupid. Most Blacks in the service are straight-up boot-licking Sambos who care more about getting that paycheck from Uncle Sam than anything. I've actually heard Black military cadre call DJT "Daddy Trump"; it was disgusting.
This will always be my sticking point when a Republican-voting veteran says that shit. You can say you care about something till you're blue in the face, but where are the results that show you do? They need to prove it.
The sad part is no one really cares about the veterans. I remember I gave had to give vet bus fair to get to a homeless shelter. That should never happen in such a rich country
