Quick story, I know a guy who served a while in the military. He has some pretty serious personality disorders, but he is on medication that does miracles for him. He is a very intelligent guy.
We were discussing Trump and he asked me a question. “What do you think Trump will do if he is not re-elected”. I walked him through some possible scenarios, like starting a media company etc. He seemed a little relieved. He knows Trump is a bad president and bad for the people of this country. However, and even though he is not active military, he considers the President his Commander In Chief. So he is really torn about how to vote.
His primary concern though, was if Trump lost the election would he kill himself. He felt that he would feel extremely guilty if he did not vote for him, he lost and he committed suicide.
I assured him that Trump was way too much of a narcissist to ever kill himself. After we talked about it a bit more, he became more comfortable that he could do the right thing (his words) and vote for Biden.
To be clear this is not an anecdote I expect to be extrapolated to represent military veterans or any other group. His circumstances are pretty unique so I think the story represents him and him alone. I had never talked to him about Trump before so I was a bit surprised he felt Trump was harming the country so much as president he had to find a way to vote against him that he could live with.
