"SNIP.....

The Economist finds that “precincts that map closely onto military bases found a median swing of nearly eight points towards Joe Biden in 2020, compared with a nationwide shift of a little over two points in the same direction.”

1. The Republican draft dodger did not inspire folks with his example

And when the shirking Republican a-hole called our troops, and those who died fighting for America, "suckers" and "losers" that did not endear him to many currently in service to our nation.

Not one damn republican had the integrity or guts to defend our soldiers. Not one. They let that rank, vile insult hang in the air like the rotten Republican Soul Fart it was. Not one said a word to defend our people.

So when you wonder why military bases might be turning to the Blue, factor in the gross insult they suffer from the Republican leader, and no doubt his Russian puppetmasters.

2. Republicans will do all things imaginable to reverse this.

The Military held firm during the turmoil at the end of the T***p occupation. Military members and their families must continue to be highly supported by Democrats. The Military must continue to be a diverse force. Diversity in all forms keeps a balanced force very less likely to embrace extremism from various factions to include homegrown or international subversives.

3. Makes sense to me. Biden had a kid who served. Trump had kids who were busy ...

smiling vacantly for the camera, defrauding charities, hawking cheap Chinese shit, or posing as the poster boy for gum disease.

5. or posing with gruesome dismembered endangered species.

7. Who couldn't shoot back.

I'm a hunter, and have been since I was a kid, but I eat what I kill ... mostly deer and wild turkey (neither of which are even remotely endangered).

Trophy hunters are beneath contempt, at least in my opinion.

6. Taking them off the firing line seems to have worked...

Yeah, I know, Afghanistan was relatively peaceful the last few months we were there, but just the knowledge that the chance of them being shipped halfway around the world for months at a time is substantially reduced has to be good for morale.

8. This is such good news! I'm so excited to see it happening.

Trump himself has made the swing/change very easy for anyone who's paying attention. If you're not completely in the tank for him or insane, it's simple to see the instability and danger he poses.

I continue to believe that trump will eventually destroy the RepubliQan party. Not quickly, but in the end, no one will want to be associated with him or the party.
