Rep. Paul Gosar blamed the drop in white recruits on the army’s supposed “woke Marxist ideologies.”
What a great photo. It’s like someone distilled bigotry into it’s purest form and then fashioned a human from it.
He looks like an extra from Ozark, like he owns the car dealership that doesn’t sell to minorities and he also has 20 kidnapped immigrants chained in his basement manufacturing heroin for him.
He’s like a caricature of an inbred racist Appalachian hick, but real
Hey! Not all of us Appalachian hicks are like that. Some of us clawed our way out and never ever visit their birthplace.
Ol’ Sourpuss looks like he lost his job at the urinalysis lab for sampling the wares
He looks like a henchman to a Disney villain.
Not far off from the truth, although both Trump and DeSantis may not like the association with Disney, even if they’re both villains who spend most of their time in Florida.
I still can’t believe DeSantis has me rooting for the evil mega corporation in a legal battle.
He looks like he manages a very old but sprawling manor on an ocean view cliff, all alone, yet chooses to sleep in the pantry for unspecified reasons, and late at night he touches the suits of armor inappropriately.
He looks like he just realized he forgot to wipe.
He looks like they programmed a robot to hate itself and everyone around it, then put it inside an ill-fitting skin suit.
He looks like the bad guy of the evil corporation whose name you can’t remember in a movie whose main plot involves a super cyberborg doing stuff. Just get that guy a large table for him to monologue at the head of to a bunch of other people who wear suits. Like flies to honey some weightlifter type will bust in heavily armed.
He looks like if you put a $5000 Savile Row hand-tailored suit on him it would instantly grow two sizes too large and a racist Chick tract would appear in the pocket.
He looks like a depressed human Dumbo. Dem ears!
Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.
The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).
Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.
Hmmm … I wonder if there is a connection.
This can be used against him:
Wait, let me get that right - you’re basically saying you want more white people to be poor…? I’m not sure your “base” is going to like that.
I doubt his followers are thinking things through that far.
They do not understand the concept of cause and effect.
Says the guy who never served in the military. What a pathetic asshole.
Fuming that they aren’t getting enough trained and radicalized militants for the second coup attempt they have planned?
they are afraid the military won’t take their side in a coup/civil war.
Good; I’m tired of being the only side afraid.
Fear is a major part of a conservative’s entire waking life.
That’s how they’re trained.
Check the white supremacists militia. I’m sure he’ll find the far-right white men there.
Y’all mean the Gravy Seals on their mobility scooters?
Meal team six lead the way!
G.I. Joke taking the right flank
They might be a little bit untrained tho (aside from shooting stationary shit down a firing range). However what they lack in skills and condition, they make up for in gear… 😅

Have you seen the proud boys training video? That’s top notch training right there. Lol
I have not, but I will look for it. Thanks for the heads up 😊
Edit: welp, couldn’t find it…
Perfect to send them right into the thick of it. Alternatively, there are so many mines to be found…
It’s a bit sad that people like this exist. It’s so much worse when there are enough of them to elect this kind of idiot.
You know you’re a piece of shit when your siblings all star in a political ad… for the person you’re running against. They all said that they’re brother is a piece of shit and he still somehow won reelection
Lmao and the guy still won. What a world.
At a certain point I can’t even be mad at him but mad at his constituents. They deserve what they get.
nigga goes on to call it a crisis of spirit.
Listen dipshit, if you think your spirit is telling you to kill people, maybe you’ve confused it with your stupid shitty ego which everyone agrees needs to get fucked and go die.
It’s seems it’s always the politicians without any military experience that say shit like this. I wonder why
Remember Tuberville’s stunt denying promotions to military members over some supposed woke stuff? Bunch of idiots
Exactly who I had in mind
From the Military.com reporting that the Vice article references:
“Another Army official pointed to partisan attacks from conservative lawmakers and media, which has an overwhelmingly white audience. Those groups have used the military as a partisan cudgel against the Biden administration, lambasting the services for being “woke,” or so preoccupied with liberal values that they have abandoned their warfighting priorities. In most cases, those attacks have zeroed in on the services being more inclusive for women, service members from racial minority groups and LGBTQ+ troops.”
I can only imagine how well a recruit would do if they joined with the goal of owning the libs and ending the woke agenda.
Hmm I wonder who would win. An ideolog with poorly thought out ideas working alone whose only weapon is his word or the ability of the US armed forces, largest employer on earth, to not embrace change.
I wish we could take all these shit talking politicians and draft them into active duty. They’d find out real fucking quick who the weak ones truly are, if they even survive long enough for their two brain cells to make that connection.
Maybe Heinlein was on to something. In the book the only way to be President was to have a career in both the main divisions of their military and the only way to hold any office was to hold a position in at least one.
I say this as a person who never served. So this wouldn’t even really benefit me directly. Indirectly I would know that the people who rule us had at least once in their life not only do something for someone else but had a shit time of it
if the military is a Marxist institution, why do they keep expanding the defense budget?
Because it doesn’t go to the military. It goes to the MIC.
I wish our military was Marxist and woke 😄
Damn he has aged horribly, like one of those “not even once” ads.
For real, straight up looks like a ghoul in that photo
Like an Addams Family evil cousin.
Omg that’s a dramatic change! He looks like a ghoul in the article compared to this pic
Hate eats away not only on the soul but on the flesh.
I honestly believe this to be true. I don’t know how, but you can see it even in photos.
Yea, but 2016, that’s like 30 years ago.
Me: “Oh, that’s a big ageist… oh no, they weren’t kidding. What happened?”
Negative emotions age you prematurely, in a real medical way not a mumbo jumbo pseudo-science way.
There has to be truth to this. Have you seen Stephen Miller?
I would pay good cash money to see Paul Gosar fight a randomly selected minority drawn from the woke Marxist US military.
Preferably one of the combat arms trades.

Far-right commentators quickly pounced on those findings, and claimed they were “proof” that the armed forces had become overrun by “Marxists” who are forcing “wokeness” on its ranks—and, as a result, alienating prospective white recruits.
I may be reading this wrong, but the way that’s worded would mean that anti-wokeness is white supremacy. I mean, I get that, that’s what they’ve been quietly running on, but I hadn’t noticed them swapping over to just flat out admitting something along the lines of “let’s admit we’re here for a race war”.
The best parody of real life is reality. It’s crazy just how I’m your face they are and still not enough people care to oust them.
