Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.

The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).

Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.

Hmmm … I wonder if there is a connection.

gravitas_deficiency,

This can be used against him:

Wait, let me get that right - you’re basically saying you want more white people to be poor…? I’m not sure your “base” is going to like that.

Arbiter,

I doubt his followers are thinking things through that far.

WhatAmLemmy,

They do not understand the concept of cause and effect.

It’s a bit sad that people like this exist. It’s so much worse when there are enough of them to elect this kind of idiot.

aew360,

You know you’re a piece of shit when your siblings all star in a political ad… for the person you’re running against. They all said that they’re brother is a piece of shit and he still somehow won reelection

scytale,

Lmao and the guy still won. What a world.

Riven,

At a certain point I can’t even be mad at him but mad at his constituents. They deserve what they get.

ShortBoweledClown,

It’s seems it’s always the politicians without any military experience that say shit like this. I wonder why

Remember Tuberville’s stunt denying promotions to military members over some supposed woke stuff? Bunch of idiots

ShortBoweledClown,

Exactly who I had in mind

Right!? They could have just as easily titled this article “White man who never served in the military complains about white men not serving in the military”

Skua,

He was Arizona's Dentist of the Year 2001 though, so he's basically a war hero

Far-right commentators quickly pounced on those findings, and claimed they were “proof” that the armed forces had become overrun by “Marxists” who are forcing “wokeness” on its ranks—and, as a result, alienating prospective white recruits.

I may be reading this wrong, but the way that's worded would mean that anti-wokeness is white supremacy. I mean, I get that, that's what they've been quietly running on, but I hadn't noticed them swapping over to just flat out admitting something along the lines of "let's admit we're here for a race war".

DrPop,

The best parody of real life is reality. It’s crazy just how I’m your face they are and still not enough people care to oust them.

I don’t see any military service here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gosar is it missing or what?

Although now I found this article www.azcentral.com/story/news/…/70962006007/ where he says the joint Chiefs of staff should be hanged.

Dudewitbow,

is the politician aware that the military is like one of the most socialist parts of the government functionally?

Carmakazi,

Fuming that they aren’t getting enough trained and radicalized militants for the second coup attempt they have planned?

they are afraid the military won't take their side in a coup/civil war.

Good; I’m tired of being the only side afraid.

Captainvaqina,

Fear is a major part of a conservative’s entire waking life.

That’s how they’re trained.

afraid_of_zombies,

Even his combover is trying to escape from this guy.

Treczoks,

When those conservative white men are cowards who don’t care for their country…

AFC1886VCC,

Conservatives when they realise that heterosexual white men dying in war means there will be less heterosexual white men 🤯

bitwolf,

I figure it has something to do with the lower class wanting access to an education so they serve in order to pay for school.

reagansrottencorpse,

I wish our military was Marxist and woke 😄

wildcardology,

Check the white supremacists militia. I’m sure he’ll find the far-right white men there.

Treczoks,

Perfect to send them right into the thick of it. Alternatively, there are so many mines to be found…

rayyy,

Y’all mean the Gravy Seals on their mobility scooters?

wildcardology,

Meal team six lead the way!

They might be a little bit untrained tho (aside from shooting stationary shit down a firing range). However what they lack in skills and condition, they make up for in gear… 😅

Late edit: video link from this source reddit.com/…/maga_dumbfucks_practice_shooting_dem…

wildcardology,

Have you seen the proud boys training video? That’s top notch training right there. Lol

I have not, but I will look for it. Thanks for the heads up 😊

Edit: welp, couldn’t find it…
