    Many of the republicans I’ve interacted with “love” WW2 history and it’s sadly funny to me that they should know the events leading up to the war and the policy of appeasement failing to achieve its goals, but they continue to regurgitate Fox News appeasement talking points at me.

    It highlights the problem of cognitive dissonance lmao

      They love the glorification and romanticization of WW2, not the history leading up to it. They are warhawks who want to pad their pockets with military industrial complex money at every turn.
