Today is Veteran's Day. Will you say to a veteran whom you may meet, "thank you for your service?"
As a veteran, I find those words hollow especially coming from a Republican. I do respond with a thank you, but I go on to say the following:
If you truly appreciate my service and those of my fellow veterans then I kindly ask that you vote Democrat or 3rd Party. Republicans have embraced and continue to embrace acts of treachery. Some of those acts led to the assault on our elections a year ago and a physical assault on our government on January 6. Still to this day the Republicans seek to cover up the misdeeds so the liar-in-chief can once again take the presidency. If that were to occur then I believe it is much more likely that we will lose our government of the people by the people for the people to be replaced by one party rule for the benefit of Trump and his minions.
Republicans are not fit to lead.
If you are Republican then I encourage you to leave the party. I left the party ~10 years or more ago. I have no party affiliation and so can you if you do not like the Democrat platform.
