Veterans who have been abruptly fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed by the Trump administration’s dramatic downsizing of government.
“When he said DEI, I thought that was code for black people.” -Some white guy, probably
Tack on “The Gays” and you’ll have to drop the probably.
Ah, yet more whining from the ‘he’s not hurting who he’s supposed to be hurting!’ crowd.
That tardigrade with the tiny violin is all booked out thanks to this nonsense, or I’d hire him for this comment.

Maybe they shouldn’t have voted for the traitor then.
Maybe.
It is not sum. The vast majority of veterans voted for Trump. Over 60%.
This is a misleading stat, because veterans skew heavily male and old (since Boomers were drafted for Vietnam).
In 2023, Pew published a profile of veteran demographics.
- 72% of veterans were over the age of 50.
- 37% were over the age of 70.
- 74% were white.
- 89% were men.
Polls that have broken up veterans by generation show a clear generational divide as well. This poll from 2020 showed that veterans under the age of 54, and veterans who joined the military after 2001, backed Biden over Trump.
Among veterans young enough to still be working, we’d need more detailed cross tabs to understand whether a majority of employed veterans, much less government employee veterans, voted Trump.
So for the individuals who did vote Trump, yes, this post fits. But for the group as a whole, of veterans who work in the government, I’m skeptical that they voted Trump over Harris.
It is not a misleading stat. The vast majority of Veterans voted for Trump: 60+ percent. It is that simple. You are trying to break them into groups but this is irrelevant to voting and why we have the Orange Turd in office.
