The vast majority I meet are right wing. Wonder what the difference is.
It's the company we keep.
Im liberal as fuck, but for some reason my lifestyle surrounds me with right leaning folks.
Day to day, they aren't bad. But holy fuck, bring up politics and they almost all go fucking sideways balls to the wall conservative, and forget that they're all felons....
It’s sad how so many that rebelled against authority and “the system” suddenly turn around and want to carry the riot shield to enforce it.
I'm located in the Northeast, and the lineage of "Military families" is exceedingly rare here. Most people I know joined up for economic reasons, and tested well enough to be in operational, engineering, and medical roles rather than any infantry.
A friend of mine joined as a right wing conservative (the whole Christian soldier kind of thing) and came out of the military pretty left. Then in the last few years he started slipping down the Joe Rogan slide and has been moving more right again.
