This dude plans to run over Donald Trump

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this person has never once done anything that would actually help service members or veterans.

And they support Trump who publicly hates veterans.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

That's because "Support our troops" has never been about supporting the actual humans in the military--it's always been about supporting the wars those troops are fed into and the administrations that wage them.

To be generous, some of it might also come from memories of shitty treatment of returning soldiers in the Vietnam era. But for all of my adult life, it has just been a rebuttal to people expressing anti-war sentiment. The exact same way that "Back the Blue" is a rebuttal to people protesting police violence.

support our military industrial complex

But he flies an American flag and has a bunch of shirts and hats with a flag on it!

I have personally helped two veterans out of a downward spiral. One I helped from homelessness all the way to being the foreman to a crew of dedicated home remodelers (he made $60k+ per year). I bailed them out, multiple times, and paid their legal costs because our system of "justice" is abusive and designed to prey on the poor. I NEVER thank a service member for their service and I never do any symbolic theatre like the dipshit on the photo who I guarantee you has never done a thing to help a vet in his life. People that really want to help, just do it. People like that asshole just talk and pretend.

PS: After years of drug abuse, the vet I helped got clean and got his life together (the foreman), because life is a sadistic fucker, got diagnosed with chronic heart disease. It was because of his past drug abuse (meth). His heart slowly failed, so he had time to ponder and he knew it was coming. Please don't judge me too harshly but I've never been able to help anyone else like that since. That just sucked too much. Rest in peace Tyler. You deserved better.

Thanks for helping when you could. (Not that you need the thanks). A lot of time the people that need help don't get it because they don't know how to ask. I know veterans like to keep quiet about shit, so that must have been tough for you to get him on the right track.

His body might not have been able to recover for a longer life, but you helped him end his life on a more positive note. Addiction is rough and we all make dumb mistakes, but not everyone can get back on track. Any of his friends/family that talked to him after he got clean have more loving memories of him because of your help. That's a good thing, but I understand the toll it takes on you as the helper.

You rock! 🪨

Jesus Christ I'm so tired of having to take these absolute morons seriously. In their tiny pea brain they think they're making a brilliant point here. "I are good guy, you am bad guy" Maybe democracy really is a mistake.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

You cannot have proper democracy without proper information channels, so do not disqualify democracy for something it hasn't done.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

plato knew that the majority of people are too fucking stupid to govern themselves thousands of years ago

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The biggest argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Behind our troops

In front of my Ram

Is he planning to run down our troops?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

ram the troops from behind? if they insist..

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but only first, and THEN the lurbulls

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think I've ever met a single person who has something against any military personnel for being military personnel. Just the war machine they're a part of. We ain't in post Vietnam anymore

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Im not in the US but I've heard many people argue that joining the military (beyond mandatory service) makes you right wing. My country's military doesn't even leave the country.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago

Why does reading this wrong sound so poetic but so nonsensical?

If you can't stand

Feel free to stand

Behind our troops

In front of my Ram

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

It's even worse because of the huge misalignment. Tape some guidelines at least?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

How am I just now hearing the literal use of "guidelines" for the first time?

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

So many words evolve, and if you're not in an industry that uses the original way, you never learn it. There are toooons of words like this.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I'm against how our troop are used and abused then largely dumped to fend for themselves. Usually with the approval of dipshits that put messages like that on the DUI king of trucks.

[-] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

10:1 odds this guy didn’t serve himself.

[-] auzy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

I think people forget that conscription ended years ago, and military personnel do get paid.

At least here in Australia, not one person I know joined to "serve their country". It was literally for lots of other reasons

They get paid well. They're doing a job and people should respect everyone equally, including waiters or even people working in stores

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Most people in the military feel the same. Everyone I knew when I was in hated being thanked for their service. Most didn't join to serve their country, they joined for the benefits that come with it.

Local truck driver cures paraplegia.

[-] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

if you can't stand, feel free to stand

That's very nice of the man.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

So stand between the troops and the Ram?

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No, you stand behind the troops, so he can hit them first

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It looks like 'behind our troops' is waiting for takeoff confirmation.

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

It has a nice little rhyme. So cool that this dude is sharing his poetry with everyone.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hail storm troopers

— Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair, he stood waaaay behind our troops. Because of those debilitating bone spurs.
