Well, not entirely fair — I’m sure a cackling Republican would have been OK, with endless faults Wendy P. We are in the awkward position in which Germany found itself sometime back where, distasteful as the candidate might be, the alternative is distinctly worse. And no, cackling isn't a factor. Being horrified by the left doesn't make one a supporter of Trump. Viewing Trump as being characteristic of the right appears to give a pass to anything flaws of the left in some circles. To be clear, the fact that Trump is a scumbag does not make the raw stupidity espoused by the left the slightest bit less odious. To stifle one's gag reflex in opposition to Trump I get. To actually SUPPORT the likes of Harris is suggestive of something between denial and idiocy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My own SUPPORT, and vote, for Harris was a vote against the damage any sane person could plainly see coming from another Trump Presidency. I'll wager (for realsie not Canadian style) that most Harris voters were more on that spectrum than any belief that she would be an amazing CIC. I do believe that cackling was a factor in the sense that it was a convenient glue used to bind together a list of shallow beliefs and outright prejudices too many voters used to justify holding their noses and voting Trump. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed. And it is a certainty that, back then, there were good patriotic Germans saying "well, Hitler might make some cruel speeches, and break a few eggs, but thank God we don't have Hindenberg any more! That guy was ancient and incompetent. And have you heard his laugh?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump's next action is to cut funding for the Smithsonian until they purge their leftist WOKE crimes. Like having any exhibits about slavery. Any mention that any nations besides the US won WW1, WW2 are purged and that the US didn't win the Vietnam war. When the Smithsonian and other museums put up exhibits that Native Americans were not true Americans until they were enlightened by Jebus and white settlers. Then comes education textbooks in schools history textbooks, science, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogyks 16 #2098 14 hours ago I think a good historian, like a good scientist, is inherently a skeptic. The orthodox view of events as seen through any lens is generally skewed. An example is the Tuskegee Airmen. Were they subjected to shameless racism? Uh, yeah. Was that good or bad? Kinda depends on who you ask. The average pilot sent into combat went through training and was turned loose with very few hours under their belt. They generally did not fare well. Because of the reluctance of the War Department to send negro pilots into combat, they were left to train much longer than would otherwise have been the case. Their effectiveness reflected their sharpened skills. Like in 'Band of Brothers,' where it was noted that Captain Mandel's cruelty in training likely reduced their losses in combat, by being assholes the War Department resulted in more of the Tuskegee Airmen making it home. My point is that our understanding of history should be enhanced, rather than focused on one perspective or another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably also chose to train them as fighter pilots because they couldn’t retrofit bombers to have separate relief tubes for colored folk. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hey, we know you love posting exceptionally racist stuff, so it’s a fair bet that misogyny isn’t far behind. Of course despite your protestations you might just really love Trump - which would make sense given he’s a racist misogynist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
