Man did Truman just make a series of really bad decisions? Or was it one really bad decision that catapulted.

Was it this picture or another eerily similar one where the meme showed a picture from the Civil Rights era of young women screaming at that black girl walking into school and then the text is like "These women are probably still alive, in fact:" and then it shows the above picture. These ladies look just like the kind of crowd my grandma would want to be part of. She's all about appearance, caters to her lovely husband, incredibly anal about everything, judgmental af, fake to everyone she meets, and from what I can tell is secretly the most miserable person I know. So just like your average run of the mill female Republican.

3 black guys and two white guys pretending to be black responded to the poll. It's a Fox poll. They put Trump's approval rating in the 70s and 80s and Bernie's in the 20's.

The take away from the Right here is that Donald Trump is about as well-liked as Reagan and he was Supply-Side Jesus.

Truman was a huge piece of poo poo that pretty much kicked off the cold war singlehandedly. It's a pretty solid theory that he only dropped the nukes on Japan as a show of force to persuade Russia not to hold the US accountable to the deals that we'd made with them for the huge part they played in the war in Europe. (Japan was already in the process of surrendering. It was unnecessary from a warfighting perspective.) He ushered us into the really extreme phase of American Exceptionalism.

I thought this was common knowledge for anyone that wasn't a broke-brained chud. Scholarly sources aren't hard to come by either if you want those. It's not like this is a fringe topic in conspiracy subreddits as you suggest. It's been widely written about for decades, now. https://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/29/opinion/l-a-bombing-of-japan-was-unnecessary-393488.html ------> this one from 1988 goes into Truman being a piece of poo poo as detailed by his own diaries https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opinion/ct-sta-kirstein-bomb-st-0806-20150805-story.html https://www.thenation.com/article/why-the-us-really-bombed-hiroshima/ Dickbutt Ouroboros fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Nov 4, 2018 |

corn in the bible posted:It's going to be pretty depressing in this thread when voter suppression helps the GOP keep the house Fun fact: The 18-29 voting block is up 400%. Everyone is super excited about this. BUT... The 65+ voting block is up 90% 190% of 40 million is a much larger number than 500% of 2 million. (76M vs 10M) Republicans are going to have a clean sweep. The olds are hell-bent on destroying everything so nothing survives when they're gone.
