    If grandpa’s still voting R, he’s voting for the fascists of the 21st century.

    If you want to know what you would’ve done living in Germany in the 1930’s…

      This kind of “America did nothing in WW2” rhetoric is almost as r-word’ed as “America soloed WW2.” You’re an idiot if you think America was “years late” and didn’t play a huge role in the European front. Not even to address the Pacific Theatre.

        I lived in Russia, and in History class I was taught that Stalin singlehandedly showed up to save those poor helpless Europeans from bloody nazis, because it was the right thing to do.

        When I loved in Europe, it were the Jewish partisans who won WW2 through brain drain on Germany, and the stupid Nazis killed themselves.

        In the US I found out that the thing in Europe was typical Medieval European Kingdoms in a fight, and the real high-tech stuff was in the Pacific.

        Now as a programmer, I know who truly won WW2: it was our legendary bro Alan all along.

    ITT: weirdly a lot of people assuming that Grandpa votes Republican based on nothing besides his age and love of guns

      Dude looks and acts exactly like my great grandfather who served in the navy kn WWII. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and hated Republicans until he died in 2017.
