Watched a WWII documentary on cable earlier

There are a lot on today due to the VE day anniversary.

One interesting point they made is that the Nazis only gained power because the Social Democrats and Communists didn't ally against them. The Communists saw Social Democrats as the real enemy, not the Nazis. Then Hitler outlawed the Communist party and threw them all into concentration camps.

That got me thinking how many times have some on the left let us down with their purity tests. They helped give us Bush and now Trump.

This I saw this profile on twitter: https://twitter.com/AmandalynLaBe This is the exact kind of person I'm talking about. White and entitled. Spends more time attacking Democrats than Trump and the Republicans. I doubt that he really cares about any issues. He just wants to be rebel. Probably because that makes him cool.

I get that impression with all these gun toting anti "libruls" If you say black they say white. If you say white they will spin on a dime and say black... Just to be a rebel...Followers of lost causes... Same with Neo Nazi's..... more lost cause stuff...... uffda
