(77,895 posts)They did this in Europe by taking down a memorial plaque to the work of black corpsman from
WW II @ cemetery in Holland, putting back up a picture of Robert E Lee @ West Point, appointing
a person who is proudly anti DEI to replace the Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, getting the corrupt
Supreme Court and the GOP to keep the # of Black members of Congress down, suppression of
the A.A. vote, firing federal government employees in the D.C. area who tend to be black, Hogs Breath
firing of black and women from high level positions in the Military, and

(77,895 posts)However his electoral base is from people like Musk, Thiel, and others who manipulate the
outcome of the #s in our elections. Musk has admitted to as much when he said that he had
an app that let him see the results of the 2024 election 4 hours early.
The GOP has used racism as the keystone of their support ever since the 1960s. Trump and
Stephen Miller are still using that playbook today.

Especially those of the same demographics Trump and his band of supremacists are trying to shut down and erase.

(10,926 posts)My great uncle, a veteran, is buried in a remote cemetery surrounded by woods. Several veterans, who also suffered from PTSD, are also buried there. They went there because they could not function in society - before people really understood much about PTSD. His headstone is not above grade. I still worry that he'll be lost over time under leaves. I know - the sun will burn out in a few billion years and it won't matter. But for some time, I'd like his grave respected. He earned it as much as anyone. If I were Ms Gee's family member or a member of a family of any of these other "delisted" service members, I would be so outraged.
Impressive story to tell young men and women as they try to enlist them ...
