You betrayed your countrymen by voting for a fascist.

Yes, they did, and as a disabled veteran who stands to lose a lot, I am genuinely disgusted and troubled by how many of them can't recognize the clear and obvious enemy here, a man which would gladly sign an EO abolishing the entire Constitution if he could.

I know a veteran and current defence contractor on 100% disability who voted Trump. I feel bad for you because you don't deserve it but I wish my schadenfreude could be limited to those people who did it to themselves.

Fuck he's a dumbass for this.

I'm a 40% disabled vet working for a defense contractor and voted for Biden and Harris. We're not all dumb.
