There has always been this media driven meme that starts with the base assumption that the troops are Republican from birth. Yes, it has been so at times, but so has “Republicans are fiscal conservatives” and that certainly has never quite matched the meme.
So how this squares with media “reality” I can’t figure. But I do know the meme will continue to fly in the face of this very unserious and unpatriotic result.
