How tone deaf do you have to be to make a video that features your candidate—who famously dodged the draft during Vietnam—making a low helicopter approach while “Fortunate Son” plays? https://twitter.com/jennaellisesq/status/1321218519321747457
I mean, this is not subtle or subtextual.
IT IS LITERALLY A SONG ABOUT RICH CHICKENHAWK ASSHOLES BUYING THEIR KIDS OUT OF VIETNAM.
DONALD TRUMP *IS* THE “FORTUNATE SON.”
THAT’S IT, THAT’S THE SONG.
Why does no one in this campaign have an ounce of media literacy?

And they’re contrasting him with Biden...

I'm sorry y'all, I know this is a weird thing to fixate on.
But this stuff wasn't that long ago. My dad was a Vietnam draftee. And my family was impacted by it growing up. Agent Orange may have even contributed to his death.
Half his molars were false due to a helicopter crash.

My wife's uncle went MIA during the war. Was last seen wounded and being dragged into the bushes near his guard post.
In 2014 we flew with her family to Vietnam and took my mother-in-law to the place her brother was last seen to hold a memorial service. It was heartbreaking.

And I should point out I literally do not care if someone dodged the draft. It was an immoral and unwinnable conflict. (These were my dad's words.)
But to be a cheerleader for war, and use imagery of that war, when you specifically avoided fighting is shameful.
Ok I'm done.
