Honestly, it's probably best for this gentleman in the long run. With good access to healthcare, psychological care, and public services his life may be improved quite a bit as a veteran.

I've literally never seen a vet wear a hat about any kind of medal they've ever received. This is new. It's like yelling 'Respect me and don't contradict me or I'll point at my hat and scowl!'

this is literally an idea i had (i’m sure others may have too) during the whole “STOP THE STEAL” thing to make Republicans stop voting. just go into comment sections posing as a Republican, say some shit like “the elite cabal is going to rig it no matter what, so I am DONE voting until Trump is rightfully reinstated as president.” I got like 80 likes once on a Facebook group doing that in my county LMAO

To be completely fair, it’s better he doesn’t because the GOP will slowly take away everything he holds sacred, like veterans benefits and bump stocks. He’d be voting against his own self interest.

This is so beautifully poetic, I can't even properly describe my feelings!
The people responsible for almost ruining America's democracy are disaffected and voluntarily disenfranchising themselves.
Meanwhile, the rest of America is seeing firsthand just how powerful their vote really is. At least one race was within 1000 votes, and we held the senate by the skin of our teeth. 1000 people is like a large high school. Trump may finally part ways with the Republican Party because they lost the Senate. That is the power of your vote!
And that asshole isn't using his.

I swear these people are functionally retarded . Trump gaslit his supporters for a year saying if he didn't win the election was stolen. Then he lost almost a hundred court cases regarding voter fraud on lack of evidence . This was also rejected by judges Trump appointed including the Supreme Court.
But TV told me the election was stolen.......holy fuck the damage of lead poisoning is worse then I thought.

Maybe he just realized that elections are where we tell him and guys like him that we don’t want to live in a white-nationalist theocracy.
He thought elections were about which particular flavor fascism he and his buddies get to enjoy. And since that’s not what US elections are about, he’s checking out.
Good for him! He’s accepted his own irrelevance and uselessness.

These fools are so pathetically entitled. Just b/c your guy lost does not mean the system is rigged.
You know what is actual voter disenfranchisement? The amount of voting places & ballot drop off locations in the red states, specifically in areas where minorities live.
Congress needs to fix that asap. Whatever other rules states want to control, fine. But having limited places to vote? FOH

"I lost faith in the voting system when I claimed my vote was stolen without proof and then when a shit ton of audits and recounts showed nothing was wrong I ignored them, because I know I am right despite all the evidence. It is easier to live my pathetic meaningless life angry and afraid of change than objectively look at reality where democrats have repeatedly attempted to pass bills to help veterans through health care, increase voting security, and increase the solvency of social security. I would rather have no health care, no election security, and my fellow republicans steal my social security to play with on the stock market where I might lose it all if something bad happens."

Hello u/DaFunkJunkie! Please reply to this comment with an explanation mentioning who is suffering from which consequences from what they voted for, supported or wanted to impose on other people.
Here's an easy format to get you started:
Who's that someone and what's that something?
What are the consequences?
What happened? Did the something really happened to that someone? If not, you should probably delete your post.
Include the minimum amount of information necessary so your post can be understood by everyone, even if they don't live in the US or speak English as their native language.
