I work for a defense contractor.

I work for a defense contractor. I am part of the military-industrial machine, even as a civilian, and I am sure a number of my co-workers and colleagues are conservative in one fashion or another, some ex-military, but most just “military adjacent.”

And my direct team? The people I work with every day? My direct team just admitted, almost across the board, that they took some time off yesterday for “Trump Recovery Day.”

And that is all the politics I expect from my work for a while.

I’m so grateful to work with these people.
