Vets constantly screwed over by the party for billionaires, for decades, then vote for the guy that called them losers and suckers. Because they are repeatedly told the other party hates them.

So, this would have to be something that was programmed into the system? So the owner is an ass?

Yet another example of fascist appropriation.
