Additionally, a surprising number of military personnel align more with center-left than right-wing politics.
As someone that spent 7 years in the US military, I'm gonna say I doubt this very much. The vast majority of soldiers, seamen, airmen, and marines I interacted with during my time in voted for Trump's first term, and most were vocally praising him. Anecdotally, your observation holds no water. Do you have a source for that?
I'm pretty sure no one that refused to vote for the cheeto feels betrayed. We all feel upset, and unsurprised, because Trump and his lackeys all said this is exactly what they were going to do. The military also overwhelmingly voted for the shitstain. It's not a stretch to assume he voted for this.
Trump card: There was even greater Democratic (and independent) support for Trump’s approach to immigration, suggesting opposition attacks on his controversial deportations are not widely resonating. In total, 49 percent of voters approved of the administration’s handling of immigration, vs. 33 percent who disapproved. Strikingly, a quarter of all Kamala Harris 2024 voters approved of the president’s immigration policy. That’s quite a number.
(Another caveat: This poll was in the field for almost three weeks, but ended just before the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that provoked Trump to send in the National Guard. It’s untested how those events affected voters’ views.)

I don't trust those numbers, personally. I'm sure there are other sources out there that can find an almost opposite conclusion.
Yeah, I've heard of that- Then they can summon Shenron, and have a wish granted, right?
Lol that divorce is coming, it's just a matter of "when" not "if."
Moderates think that "both sides" have good points, but should meet in the middle. They work with whoever guarantees comfort and power. They poison society.
Pretty sure this has more to do with the fact that the current GOP has one Kristi Noem that killed her dog because it annoyed her. Try to keep up.
Woof, you're really really intellectually dishonest. It was attempted diplomacy that fell apart. Obama sucked ass, but for reasons unrelated to Russia.
Missionaries are supposed to exemplify everything about a religion, so they can spread it. The two things are so intertwined, they can easily be conflated.
The end goal is ban all organized religion. Religion is a personal choice, and should never be used to determine what others not practicing it are allowed to do. Talking about religion is fine, practicing yourself is fine, creating institutions based off of it is not.
Obviously telling others what they can and can't do or sowing violence while using your religion as justification is bad.
Yet that's every single religion. So yes, toss the baby with the bathwater.
But even the bible says that spirituality should be practiced in private.
It also says the exact opposite.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20)
Yeah, I'll be looking for the update post to this between 3 months and 1 year from now. This shit works so rarely that no one that tries this should expect it to work long term.
