why are these fuckers obsessed with WW2?
Give me my puzzle pieces but the shortest summary is the concept of a "Founding Myth" as almost all of American history of meaning and our moral fabric, ideals and perception to the layperson and various media is pegged to the ending of WW2 and everything before that is seen as footnotes or window dressing. It's actually an established phenomena where history becomes more or less ethereal to people's perceptions except for big signposting moments defining eras and setting the tone and stage for future perceptions and comparisons.

In this case specifically it's mostly just more "Everyone I don't like is hitler and I am mentally stuck in the total black and white perception of reality like it's lord of the rings"
 
"Durr. Why didn't they just not crash? NOT GOOD!!!!11"

I can almost hear him smacking his chest making drooling retard noises while writing it.
Trump actually makes a good point if you take a second to think about it:

The plane did nothing wrong. He’s right about that. The helicopter was on visual control and confirmed visual on the plane and yet ran right into it. It appears ATC may not have followed up on the heli as well, or perhaps did not have enough time. This is the second part of his post.

This brazen style is actually not at all unusual for New Yorkers. It’s become known as ‘Trump’s style’ but it’s basically how everyone talks in NYC.
 
Illegals being taken to Guantanamo is the exact same as the Holocaust






Illegals are like Jesus



Kamala would’ve saved everyone, but people were too racist to vote for her



A woman making it very clear she isn’t a Republican despite appearances



Liberal gets trolled by someone yelling “la migra” in a grocery store

 
Trump posted and he sounds like a retard tbh. Stupid way to handle a tragedy.

You never blame one of the victims, even if it's blatantly obvious that they screwed up. Not right now. The pilot's family probably hasn't even been told yet, and they're now going to be hearing that the President of the US called a pilot out a few hours before they're told it was their husband/father/son that died.

An unforced error. JD Vance handled it right. Trump should have said something neutral tonight and then probably nothing.
 
Most wars are just conflicts but WW2 has a very clear good guy/bad guy mythos, so it's used as a constant reference point since a lot of people feel comfortable not being nuanced about the topic in a way they wouldn't about anything else. The good guy/bad guy dichotomy sort of plays into their childish metaphors in regards to Disney or comic book representations of what such divides look like. It's easy and comfy.

Is there any news on who was killed in the crash?

A pilot who rams a helicopter into a plane isn’t a victim, he’s an idiot.

The mayor of D.C. doesn’t seem to really know what she’s doing.

He did make a statement a few hours ago that was similar to Vance. Guess the pretty clear fuck up by either the ATC or helicopter pilot pissed him off too much. I wouldn't of said anything personally either.

Before the press conference the pilot guy on Fox who reviewed the info available said the helicopter pilot was on the helicopter frequency and was responding there but the ATC operator was using multiple frequencies/bands and kept jumping around on what they were saying right up to the crash.

People not from here also leverage WW2's mythos and narrative to sell ideologies to Americans, because most of us have relatives who fought in the war, and that we actually met. The Civil War is too far back for many people to trace an ancestors to easily but there's a much higher chance your grandpa fought in WW2.

If you equate anything to Nazis, Boomers and Gen X will immediately hate it. Millennial and Zoomers Americans are waking up to the fact that anything vaguely right wing is not actually Nazi Germany, and the commies were only nominally "allies" of ours in WW2 (USSR would have been obliterated without the Lend-Lease program where we gave them $11 billion (250 billion in today's money) in materials, supplies, and cash. Thanks FDR, you piece of shit!)

Bill Clinton is literally Hitler!


The first major immigration issue faced by President Bill Clinton dealt with Haitian refugees who were being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba after being rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. After campaigning against the policy of repatriation, Clinton reversed course and maintained it. By 1994 tens of thousands of Haitians and Cubans were held in a refugee camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Just who do they think Trump is making room at gitmo for? The room for 30k detainees is a drop in the bucket for the 30 million illegals in the US that Trump wants to deport. The people going there isn't the housecleaner, it is for the cartel officer who would be untouchable in any other prison due to the influence the cartels have in the western hemisphere.
 
Guys I’m really worried about Bobby Kennedy. I feel like I should care less but I really can’t cope with the fact that he might not be voted in.
It's going to blow back in the face of any Republican who votes no. Health is one of those topics that will mobilize suburban women like nothing else. If you've ever spent any time at all around keto or carnivore people you'll find that they have an insane amount of energy ready to point at a cause. You just need to direct it.
