    They fought Nazis and imperial Japanese soldiers in Europe and the Pacific, now they’re defending Nazis and pedos and building camps.

      Yeah, although it took them a couple years to even do that. I keep wondering what their “Pearl Harbor” will be that finally gets them to take action.

        Pearl Harbor happened because America, and FDR, cared just enough about Japan’s invasion of China to embargo them. That’s simply not going to happen with Trump.

        What you should be looking for in a historical comparison is rebellions and revolutions, in which case the cause is either people going hungry or Trump fucking with his own power base.

          the cause is either people going hungry

          Lot of empty fields out there with food that isn’t getting picked right now. This may be closer than we think.
