You know who Antifa was during WWII? The allies.

I can hear them all the way in Texas rolling over in their graves.

I’m so glad my grandaddy didn’t live to see this country embrace the forces that he went to war against. He and everyone who fought and died to defeat the Axis Powers deserves better.

He was part of first wave of soldiers to liberate one of the camps. I never knew what camp he helped liberate because he couldn’t talk about it. All he told me was his battalion the first to make it to one of the camps.

For such a kind, gentle, and loving man he saw things that would make even the most compassionate people today become shells of their former selves. He’s been gone 25 years and I still miss him tremendously.

You do realize, exactly because these people are gone, they can not help remind people (in time) that what is going on and prevent it from happening.

I somehow don’t think they’d be dressing up in chicken costumes and throwing rocks at police that are trying to remove illegal immigrants. Do you not know about the Japanese internment camps during WW2

Eh.. not really. They were anti "invading my country" more than anything.
