I think if we're being real about it, the Soviets would have been able to beat the Nazis without help from anyone else. Maybe it's controversial, I don't know, but I think they could have done so, even without D-Day. Yes, we helped the Soviets with lend lease and occupying a a good number of Nazi troops with our not so secret plans of invasion. But after a couple of winters at Moscow and particularly the loss of the 6th army at Stallngrad, and then piling on with the failed offensive at Kursk, I think it's safe to say by mid 1943, there was nothing the Germans could have done to stop their defeat at the hands of the Soviets.

I think America really just made sure that all of Europe didn't fall to Communism. If D-Day never happened, the Soviets would have gotten all the land to themselves. Countries like the UK, and Sweden would be among the few Democratic countries left in Europe.

Thank dawg for democrats, or we'd never have been able to beat back the Nazi hordes!!! (although I'm pretty sure it was Democrats who got us into the messes in Korea and Vietnam... right, KF?)

Still, this is a good one, KF! Very unhinged.

(p.s. I think you're going a little overboard with these less than provable tangents, and literal spamming of the politicsTOO stream. Take a pause for the cause...)

What I find to be even more funny is the fact that the majority of WW2 vets alive today are Republicans, and democrats have consistently been calling them fascists while evoking imagery of them fighting fascists.

Funny how the same democrats who beat fascism are the ones using fascist tactics against conservatives with whom they disagree. This is called irony.

What "fascist tactics"? Deleting trollish comments? Oh boo hoo. I will let yours stand to prove a point.

FDR and Churchill censored pro-Nazi propaganda and they were right to do so.

Now.

Look at Trump and his deranged supporters, baselessly threatening Democrats with jail-time over policy disagreements. Mere days after a plot to kidnap and hold a "trial" for a Democratic governor was foiled.

"Lock 'em all up": That's fascism.

You can call weaponizing the DOJ and the FBI against a political opponent a policy disagreement, but you're flat wrong.

You can call selling access to yourself through your drug addicted son a policy disagreement, but you're flat wrong.

Nobody is saying to lock up anyone who doesn't deserve it. Of course, they should only be locked up after a fair trial, at which all their rights will be respected.

That's a lot more than your AntiF(irst)A(mendment) thugs did when they put down a free speech rally in San Francisco.

At, the time it was correct to censor fascists. No disagreement on that.

I’m speaking of people getting beaten down just for wearing a MAGA hat or shirt. People’s livelihoods being threatened because of what they believe or who they support. THAT is fascism. Claiming you have the moral high ground doesn’t make it right for you to beat someone for their beliefs or the clothes they wear. And by not calling those assholes out for their shitty behavior, the rest of you are just as guilty. If you stopped calling people names long enough, you’ll find PLENTY of conservatives who disavow other conservatives for being racist assholes.

But for some reason, individuals don’t exist to you mental-midgets. You say “that one tard is a racist and he’s also a registered Republican. Therefore all republicans are racists.”

That’s a logical fallacy. But logic is obviously not the strong suit of the left.
