I'm not sure about other veterans

but I haven't seen one veteran wearing a MAGA hat, shirt etc. in the couple times I've been to my local VA medical clinic over the past 2 weeks. A year or two ago, I saw a couple, but that was it. While in the waiting room I talked to a retired E7 who just was beside himself with his hatred of dotard.

.... in believe it or not, Louisiana, and my observations reflect your own. I haven't even seen a waiting room television with Faux News on. Hell, for that matter in the approximately three or four years I've lived down here I don't believe I've even seen a Maga hat or a trump hat. I can honestly say I have seen 1 Confederate flag flying on the back of a motorcycle, and one qanon t-shirt at the grocery store and no, I don't live in New Orleans. It's.......weird

I can't imagine why any veteran would support Trump. But there are a lot of blockheads out there...

I’m going to start drawing mustaches and goofy glasses on trump’s portrait.

I’ll go easy and use a dry erase marker because some poor VA employee will be the one to clean it off.

It's easy to shut them up when they start talking just by asking them to explain tariffs. The worse part of going there or any clinic, 3 in Jacksonville NC, is having to see Trump's picture.

Maga hat wearing Vets or family members each time I go there. Makes me sick and hard as I try reading a book, seeing or hearing about MAGA just makes my blood boil. The MAGA dotard is a coward and worthless Pres.
