    In general yeah, but the numbers have shifted pretty hard. In 2016, it was 55/45 gop to dem.

    Just 4 years later, it shift to 41/37 dem to gop. Looks like a decent chunk went non voting, but it did shift the needle.

    While I was in the service, it was majority conservative, but lots of people from lots of places tends to shift that. You get to know people from all over the country, break down biases and learn new things. Looks like nowadays there isn’t that overarching conservative energy on top. Probably a better military to be in now, honestly.

      Yikes, imagine being in the military and choosing not to vote. That’s kind of unbelievable (rhetorically speaking… unfortunately, its all too believable).
