A Sad Moment in U.S. History

I know the majority of Americans share the viewpoint of the author of the meme here.

My father was a B-17 pilot in WWII, who, after 29 successful missions bombing oil refineries in Germany, was shot down, and, with his crew, spent the last six months of the war in a POW camp.  He died in 2010, and so, regrettably, I couldn’t ask him how he regarded Trump’s antics post the former president’s loss in the 2020 election.

Dad was a deeply conservative, life-long Republican, but he was a man of honor.  Moreover, he lived and died before the right-wing became so unhinged with its hate, ignorance, and embrace of fascism.

I’m quite sure, if I had been able to ask him about Trump 2024, he would have said, “Under no circumstances would I vote for someone who tried to overthrow the U.S. government.  It’s that simple.”

This is, most certainly, a deeply regrettable point in our nation’s history.
