So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”
Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing!
Would have been good to know that. Before I, you know, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year old in college. Just feels like a big rip off!

    But Nazi’s are histories biggest losers!

    We won a war against them, so they are already by definition losers.

    But that is not all. They were all like “We have the best people, nobody is as strong, intelligent, handsome, … as us. Our army is the best in the world, most high-tech, best supplied, …”

    Then they fought a single war and lost.

    Not only that, they lost against a coalition of many different countries that allowed anyone to join.

    So the Nazis were literally defeated by diversity and inclusivity.

      Yes, that’s where their shame comes from, not from the horrible things they say, but from the fact that they are suppose to be superior and here we are.

      This is why a lot of Nazis keep their mouth shut until the coup is in progress, they know their rhetoric falls apparent unless they are winning.

      Well idk about literally, but it’s still a fair point.

      More than one million African American men and women served in every branch of the US armed forces during World War II. In addition to battling the forces of Fascism abroad, these Americans also battled racism in the United States and in the US military. The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps all segregated African Americans into separate units because of the belief that they were not as capable as white service members. Adding to this indignity, the Army frequently assigned White officers from the American South to command Black infantrymen.

      In spite of these dispiriting obstacles, African Americans fought with distinction in every theater of the war. Some of the more famous Black units included the 332nd Fighter Group, which shot down 112 enemy planes during the course of 179 bomber escort missions over Europe, and the 761st Tank Battalion, which served in General George S. Patton’s Third Army. Major General Willard S. Paul, of the 26th Division, singled out the 761st for special praise after its first action in France by writing, “I consider the 761st Tank Battalion to have entered combat with such conspicuous courage and success as to warrant special commendation.”
