Keeshhound posted:It's a tiny bit more complicated than that; FDR probably did want to go to war in Europe, but for economic reasons (England and France were major trading partners, Nazi Germany not so much) but it was an extremely unpopular idea with the man on the street. That's why we had the lend-lease programs; we couldn't get the popular support to safely enter the war, but no one complained about selling/"lending" as much hardware as we could make to the countries that were involved. The administration basically used the Japanese-Nazi alliance as a pretext to enter the European theater so we could protect our trading partners. Well, Hitler also formally declared war on the US the day after Pearl Harbor, so there was that, too.

From 1 in 5 millennials identifies as LGBTQ, according to new survey posted by freeper MtnClimberthe article posted:Twenty percent of 18- to 34-year-olds self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, according to a new survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of GLAAD.

The difference now is that society is more accepting of the LGBTQ lifestyle. As opposed to generations prior where it was seen as a crime punishable by eternal torture in the afterlife and people forced themselves to live straight lives in denial or keep it secret. Kinda like how they thought the repeal of DADT was going to infest the military with gays. Gays were always in the military, they just weren't open about it.

From What Obama’s Muslim ‘Sleeper Cells’ Are Planning For US Neighborhoods posted by freeper Rustybucket So this is from a site called Political Mayhem and oh boy is it something. Here is the article, in full. Read all of it, it's great. quote:As liberals continue to fight President Trump tooth and nail on his migrant ban, a woman who’s been sitting on many of the United Nations’ meetings regarding refugee resettlement to the United States is risking it all to raise alarm bells to those willing to listen. The information she has about a literal Muslim invasion is so disturbing, that it proves that we are intentionally being taken over thanks to the malicious actions of those at the highest levels of our government. And if our president is unable to stop what is happening with an executive order, America as we know it will soon be lost forever. quote:To: Rustybucket Freep opinions: THE PROLETARIAT MUST RISE UP IN REVOLT AGAINST THE BOURGEOISIE quote:To: Rustybucket quote:To: Rustybucket quote:To: Rustybucket quote:To: Bryanw92 quote:To: mainestategop quote:To: mainestategop What? quote:To: Rustybucket quote:To: Rustybucket Hi savagesusie! quote:To: SkyDancer quote:To: tired&retired; All quote:To: Rustybucket Man, this is some serious poo poo right here. quote:To: Rustybucket

No, you're right. The numbers for homosexuality have been pretty much static for as long as we've been tracking these kinds of things. Even if they were in a sham marriage, they would still privately self report as gay since they could never form romantic attachments to the opposite sex. Tons of people who COULD pass for straight/cis just kept their heads down to avoid the societal repercussions.

Given the numbers of conservative politicians who stand up on soapboxes and scream about how homosexuality is an illness that then get caught in bed with other men, I don't see how there was ever any room for doubt. Unless gay men are somehow overwhelmingly drawn to careers as homophobic politicians, it's pretty clear that a fair percentage of people were historically just hiding it.

This is how it went for me. I spent about 23 years thinking I was completely heterosexual, before realizing that I had too many attractions to trans individuals (of varying sex) to not be at least a little gay. I still don't quite identify as a "member of the LGBT community" even though I probably do under a strict definition. I'm not queer enough to have it be a defining part of my life or to feel a disconnect from straight people.

Jagged Jim posted:Mark Meadows says Freedom Caucus will go along with AHCA if it kills community rating and EHB regs This seems like a good move from the Freedom Caucus, because they know there is absolutely no way a bill killing community rating will ever ever pass the House, let alone the Senate because that would immediately financially destroy millions of rural 40-64 year old voters who went for Trump and the Republicans on a dumb gamble that Trump would bring down their health care costs. If Paul Ryan agrees then the moderates will kill the bill and take the heat of failing to repeal Obamacare off the HFC. On the other hand, the HFC come from gerrymandered blood-red districts full of idiot tea partiers so it seems like voting for any replacement no matter how evil could still open them up to a primary challenge from the right for voting for "Obamacare 3.0" because some subsidy still exists in some form.

Well gently caress. I asked. God drat it Freep I'm not going to quote the specific quote cause I'm on my phone, but I'm a white guy who lives in Harlem actually and they're really god drat nice. Like the "worst" I've ever gotten is people in my building refer to me as "the white guy" (cause I'm the only white guy), and some mild ribbing about how bad my Spanish is. These assholes are constantly talking about some urban slum gangland bullshit, and here I am in Harlem and my neighbors made me churros from scratch the other day. Hot drat. Also from a quick google NYC has the highest Muslim population in the US... at around 70,000. About twice as much as the NYPD's active duty roster. So even if their supposed muslim uprising happens it could be thwarted by the cops. But what am I doing with facts and reality and actually talking to people. PS they were pretty great churros.

RagnarokAngel posted:Well, Hitler also formally declared war on the US the day after Pearl Harbor, so there was that, too. Pearl Harbor was really what kicked America into the war. Before that the American public wanted to maintain the isolationism that had been typical for America for a while. It was viewed as Their Problem rather than ours. The fight just wasn't really happening in the Americas and like, who cares of Germany conquers Europe and Africa and Japan takes Asia? That's not here so it isn't our problem. American leadership of course realized that the aggression wouldn't stop until it was stopped. America was going to end up involved in the war whether we liked it or not. The lend/lease stuff was where it started. It was pretty easy to spin, really; hey folks we're just sending some stuff to nations we like and hey you're getting paid to make it so it's cool, you know? Americans aren't fighting and Americans aren't dying so whatever. Meanwhile they were increasing military spending and buffing military strength as much as was politically viable. Germany declaring war on America was basically a formality at that point. Everybody knew America was going to get involved eventually in some way or another. Japan attacking Pearl Harbor was really what kicked it off. Suddenly opinion shifted; the war came to us and god drat it we're America! You don't mess with America. Die hard isolationists and anti-war types were obviously still against it but overall public opinion shifted basically overnight.
