    For a Republican president, Trump was exceptionally unpopular among the military. This started about a year into his presidency and, to judge by votes, only increased over time. It's one of the more reassuring facts of the last few years.https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1331297711539298309 …

        Those aren't primarily military ballots.

        actual mil votes were roughly 50/50 iirc? which was a much worse performance than he did against Clinton

        These aren’t just military ballots though — there are a lot of expat and diplomatic votes mixed in there too.

        This is weird to me but I'm also in a very red area so maybe thats the issue but all the veterans I know are the most vocal Trump supporters. Except one. Maybe they are the real "silent majority."

        the "& overseas" part of "military & overseas" is going to tilt Democratic. But you can see Trump's decline in a number of military base communities (and TBH probably stronger among active duty military than veterans/communities)

        I've got a tweet thread somewhere wherein people list all the different reasons a service member would have to vote against Trump the last time I saw it, we'd exhausted enumerating with single alpha characters and were well into double-alpha

        the contrast between the current political preferences of law enforcement and military is incredibly stark!
