It’s like people really believe America entered WW2 to fight fascism becaus Americans are innately good…

Large amounts of the country said the same shit this guy is. They wanted to either stay out of it or outright join the nazis.

Especially the wealthy. Prescott Bush was believed to be part of the Business Plot that wanted to overthrow the US government in favor of fascism and doing the Axis powers.

They didn’t succeed (mostly because of Pearl Harbor) but his son became head of the CIA, VP, and then president. One of his sons also became president, and almost another one.

If we don’t remember what history was really like, we’re doomed to keep being surprised when the same shit keeps happening.

Ya, CCCP started it all with Hitler, later on the USA was forced in to the war.

Don’t forget.

Edit, to clarify: the USA was forced into the war, later on, they didn’t enter voluntarily. The nazis and the soviets kicked off ww2 in 1939. Sorry for the confusion.

Is this an attempt at a joke or do you really believe that?

It’s hard to tell these days when someone is just pretending
