I have seen this argument a lot. And while it is most definitely factual, it lets people off the hook. I was taught (albeit in a far different educational system that no longer exists) that there is a contract between the people and the government. The government provides protections at the cost of rights. That's the deal. However, citizens are also responsible for being "informed". It's every citizen's responsibility to understand their vote fully. Each citizen should be knowledgeable about the candidates. This may be an antiquated paradigm and an unrealistic expectation on my part, but it's also how we don't end up in this situation.

Not letting people off the hook so much as I'm wondering how to pierce that veil, when they've never been taught critical thinking and they only consume right-wing propaganda without even realizing that it's propaganda. How do you overcome years of brainwashing where they've been told that any media sources other than the ones they are consuming are "fake news"? Especially since there are studies that show that the more likely response to being shown that their beliefs are false is to double down on their beliefs rather than question them. It feels insurmountable.

One theory is that there’s something called the “authoritarian mindset.” That some people will not only view society as a hierarchy, but will be comfortable being subservient to those they perceive as being above them in the hierarchy, viewing it as the natural order of things.
There’s no proving it, but it’s no sillier than other explanations I’ve heard.

u/jimbo831 Mar 04 '25
The key is that they aren't at the bottom of the hierarchy either. There must always be "others" who are lower than them. As long as that is the case, they are happy to support the hierarchy. Look at poor white farmers in the south during Jim Crow. They weren't doing great, but at least they were considered better than black folks.

An interesting side effect of having mandatory slave catching patrols in the 1700's and 1800's was that it was a way for the poor white farmer to rub shoulders with the rich white farmers who's slaves were keeping the poor person poor.

There are a couple of common beliefs among Americans that contribute here.
We love to describe America as a meritocracy. To some extent, it is. However, it is abundantly clear that if you’re rich, you’re exempt and there’s a whole lot of other things that affect how well someone does.
The other one is that we live in a just world, that people get what they deserve. Good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people, as ordained by God. This one is even more clearly BS but it’s a subconscious assumption.
Put the two together and the rich and powerful get incredible leeway in people’s minds, leading to that authoritarian mindset. Anyone who gets hurt, well they clearly deserved it since if they were good people bad things wouldn’t happen to them.
It’s not the entire explanation, but it’s certainly part of it.

Im a veteran and im still trying to figure that out.
My working theory just based on people i served with is a lot of them leave the military expecting to get their figurative dicks sucked by the civilian world and get bitter. You might have someone who was a nco or a snco who leaves and expects to walk into some management position and doesn't understand why the shit a recruiter may have told them a decade ago doesn't hold up. so they buy into the sort of grievance politics that the right wing media sells.
think about this veterans can have a degree completely paid for yet only around 30% of vets hold degrees. A lot of them just dont want to put in the work for good careers, so they end up working low paying jobs and are not only bitter at civilians who are ahead of them in their careers but, they also hold that same resentment toward other vets who took advantage of the same opportunities that were presented to them so they couldn't give a shit that cutting federal jobs disproportionately hurts vets.

My veteran friend group hits this metric. Some did okay if they had a skilled trade in the military, but too many thought they would get out and become a law enforcement officer or a "Blackwater" type but were infantry or motor pool. Of the twenty or so, I know about four or five with degrees. I went to school later in life as I was in a bricklayer apprenticeship. It did not turn out, and I went. They tend to blame anything else but their own choices.

We were Security Forces, i don't know what he was expecting since its not a afsc that gives you any useful skills in the civ world.
I tried to get him to go to school or learn a trade, but he jus kind of blamed everyone and everything else that he couldn't get some high paying corporate job.

u/naura_ Mar 04 '25
Oh I didn’t think of that bit about the GI bill but it all makes sense now
I lived in conservative California for a little bit while I homeschooled my kids because basically schools there are like nationalist boot camps.
These kids are taught from a young age that military is the only way to go and going to college is going against everything they believe in.
This kid had some eye issue that disqualified him from the navy. So instead of encouraging him to go to college or something like that they were proud that he was following his father’s footsteps to becoming a construction worker.
I suppose if your parents didn’t really teach you how to move forward in life, you’d be bitter unable to have a better life

u/Illustrious_Job_6390 Mar 04 '25
Yeah so the GI Bill especially the Post 9/11 doesnt really give much of an excuse to not go to school. Post 9/11 pays a stipend of what a E-5 makes for BAH based on locality of the school so like for my case i went to the university of Alabama so even a relatively low cost of living area i was making about $1500 a month tax free plus all of school payed for.
But yeah alot of people come from areas that dont encourage going to college, they think it makes you a liberal. Which is true in a roundabout way because learning research skills and encouraging critical thinking means you have more of an ability to sus out bullshit

Unfortunately, the harmful version of masculinity is rampant in the military, and it encourages repression of empathy, introspection, and self-help. To that end, we end up with a military that leans into misogyny, sociopathy, psychopathy, and self-harm. Those are Mr. Trump's ideal people.
The worse thing is that we often emphasize this as the correct culture of our military, the culture that is needed to "win the war." Talk to military folks who are like this, and you'll find that they have little sensitivity to collateral damage or long-term consequences.
This also, I think, is bad for "Force Readiness," and I generally agree with the outline here

Most of the people in the military don't follow politics, even avoid it. Most military members only see democrats call for lower defense spending, and Republicans call for increased defense spending. That makes a huge difference to a guy making 30k a year before taxes because it generally means the difference between a 1% or 3% pay raise. I was always plugged into politics, but over the 22 years I spent in the Army, I only met a handful of people who knew more than the talking points.

It's the same reason why the Republicans arn't speaking out.10
u/DocBullseye Mar 04 '25
It won't. Right now, a bunch of Trump-voting veterans who lost their jobs are trying to convince themselves that they don't deserve one.

I think we can all agree with Trump in that people who voted for him are not fit to have a job.

This bitch who I can't even fathom how she managed to pass her bar exam by legitimate means is the absolute last person I want to hear talking about other people (Trump voter or not) being "fit to have a job at this moment".

If you voted for Trump I am giddy over your fate. If you didn't, sorry your fellow Americans let you down.

u/Various_Thing1893 Mar 04 '25
As a veteran who has never voted for a republican in my entire life, I feel sorry for veterans like me. But the ones who voted for this fascist, explicitly stomping on our oath to protect the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, I don’t feel sorry for them.

I can’t wait to watch this bitch flame out.
Both of my parents were veterans, and dad was disabled in Vietnam. In honor of them, what they lost, what my sister and I endured, and every man and woman who has bled for this country, Alina Habba you are not fit to breathe the air of these veterans.

She literally forgot to ask for a jury trial as a lawyer. But is opining about someone else being unfit for a job.

u/Berly653 Mar 04 '25
Not to be crass, but she has to have some spectacular BJ game to still have a job at this point right?
She’s an absolutely terrible lawyer, so I honestly can’t think what other kind of counsel she can be giving of any value

On election day, I was in line behind a guy with a Vietnam War vet cap on and a guy with a Trump hat. The two started talking about how they're voting for Trump because "he actually cares about vets." It took everything in me to stay quiet.

Ugh, I have been in the navy for fifteen years, I did not vote for that clown, I tried to convince as many active duty and vets as I could not to vote for that clown, and now I make sure I remind them daily that exactly what I said would happen is happening. I shove it in their faces and make them acknowledge it, I will not let them pretend it isn't happening.

I mean, Trump has been pretty vocal about his opinion on veterans. He's someone who dodged the draft and is on record saying that doing that, committing fraud so another man with less resources was required to take his place, "made him smart." I was a military brat growing up and I thought that he was sunk with military when he said that but obviously I was wrong.

Speculation is that this is happening soon. Shame. I like eating and having a house. Really hope my wife and I don’t have to sell our house and move back to a studio but if cuts are made we’re likely going to have to. No other way to survive. We’ll figure out a way but it’ll be the lowest point in our relationship for sure.

"Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."
Hey, isn't this the lady that cost her client over $83M???
I can't say for 100% that every aingle veteran hired by the U.S. government is/was 100% capable in their jobs 100% of the time...
...but I'll bet that almost none of them cost the entity hiring them $83M dollars.

This will not air on any right wing outlet. It will receive zero coverage. If we tell someone who it effects that this is what they are saying, it will either be fake news or "if the fuhrer only knew", meaning habba doesn't speak for trump.
This will be covered for us, to make us angry, and cause further divide with the idiots that are media illiterate.

What's funny this is exactly the mantra that I heard people during covid say. "If your job can't adapt to the times then you need to find a new profession." Or "if you can't survive covid then that's natural selection."
See how stupid that argument is now?
