This is all Benjamin Franklin's Fault

i don't see how I'm the victim when Trump was the accelerant. He created the climate. I think your idea works better with Reagan or Bush. People who generally didn't act like an a$$hole in public. Trump is a bonafide a$$hole. He's the poster child for. The definition. Good policy + a$$hole = still an a$$hole. You could be like that one guy on YT comments in 2017 and state look at all the things Trump has done for this country! Ah he's still an a$$hole.

Well I have to admit. You do sound like a victim.

The reason I keep saying, “victimhood” with a question mark, is you told me to stop with the Victimhood. It’s post #90.
I’m trying to ask what you meant.

My mother, a 15 year old civilian was strafed in Bad Hamburg by the allies, lost their house and she still rose above the hate that one man caused. My grandfather, her father who was a captain in the Werhrmacht, helped hide Jews, spoke against Hitler and the war and as a result was busted down to corporal ahd shipped to the Russian front which he survived. Imagine that behaviour from a German.

The Germans had only themselves to blame and deserved everything meted out to them. They started it all, and as I say three times in a relatively short space of time.

If it were not for those few brave pilots who defeated the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, the world would be a very different place. Churchill was right when he said: - "Never in the field of human endeavor has so much been owed by so many to so few." The world is still in their debt.

In my early years strong anti German feeling was the norm. I remember when I was five and went to but a clockwork toy at Lanes toyshop in Rochester high street, opposite the Cathedral. it was a well run Mom and Pop toy shop. Anyhow I selected this clockwork truck. Mrs. Lane suddenly noticed that the toy said. "Made in Germany". Mrs. Lane picked up the toy and threw it hard into a garbage pale, and told me she got not sell me a German toy.

Me being a victim or not, it still doesn't really work to say the left are blinded by their hatred of Trump when there are tangible reasons to. Basically your behavior is the other half of the equation as POTUS, and Trump is abysmal in that regard.

Anyone who tries and circumvent the system to stay in power spells/equals dictator. He and Vance are no better than the KKK.

Then mr turn the page definitely needs to be added to this list.

You said “stop with the Victimhood”.
What were you trying to say?

When you said the left are blinded by Trump I found it to sound like a victim because he's also an a$$hole. Sort of like after he won the radio guys were pushing the victimhood of being chastised for voting Trump. I mean yeah there's policy, but he's also a huge a$$hole so does it really work? Maybe, but if MAGA cheered his a$$holery well it's kinda hard to be a victim at the same time.

Ok I think I get it. You thought I was saying trump was a victim because he’s hated by the left. Correct?

I think you can let go of your disdain of Germany at this point. In the new global conflict that is brewing, it doesn't look like Germany is going to be on the wrong side of history here. Unfortunately, the USA may well be.
