If any message can help Democrats, it’s making sure veterans and active duty personnel see that Republicans have demonstrated, by blocking help for veterans injured by burn pits, that the GOP has no interest in the longterm welfare of those who have served in the military. Trillions for war, nothing for warriors.

Pro-life until the child is born.

Pro-police until the cops attempt to stop a coup.

Pro-veterans until soldiers' health fails.

Pro-America until Russia holds out a cheque.

Pro-rights as long as the people protected are exactly like them.

Pro-Freedom of Religion as long as it's Christianity.

Pro-peace as long as they can carry military grade weapons.

Pro-environment unless it interferes with corporate donations.

Pro-fact, but only if they control how a fact is defined.

Pro-family if the family is straight, white, and votes red.

Pro-kindness except when it's about brown people needing asylum.

Pro-law, unless it's inconvenient.

How many did I miss?

Actually, they’re pro-police until they attempt to stop a coup, which is what I guess you meant.

I'm glad one of us knew what I meant! Thank you for the correction. I'll see if I can fix it!
