Midnight Meme Of The Day!

Then: June 6, 1944.
Now: June 6, 2020.
What if FOX "News" had existed back then? Do you ever wonder whose side Trump's propagandists at FOX "News" would be on? I don't. I think the likes of Tucker Tiki-Torch, his fellow white supremacist Sean Hannity, the Hilter salute gal, Laura Ingraham, and the rest would probably be trying to broadcast their pro-Nazi propaganda from a hidden bunker or a ship at sea. Sure, there are degrees of fascism. Corporations and banks around the world push it as much as we let them, and sadly, we do let them by allowing our representatives in government to let them, for the cash put in their pockets, of course. But, FOX crossed different line long ago and you can tell they'd keep crossing lines until they were running concentration camps themselves and not just applauding them. Right, Lou Dobbs?
Nowadays, Republicans like the fascist sympathizers at FOX and the fascists in the White House, don't hesitate to label loose groups who call themselves Antifa (for Anti-Fascist) terrorists, but, it's more than revealing that they never label white supremacists, the KKK, and the white nationalist militia groups like those who stromed the Michigan legislature with guns terrorists. Nope. Those are all "very fine people," if you're a fellow Nazi.
So, can you see people like Tucker Tiki-Torch aiming bullets at American, Canadian, British troops and democracy itself as the troops stormed the shores on D-Day? I can. He already does it with words. He would have done at least that then. He's just a half step from the next line now.

True enough. Yes, they've taken 'ownership' of the term 'deplorable' but doesn't make it any less true. It's a wonder how C. Wallace keeps his job. The others, I believe, are just self-promotors, not actually ideologues, as is Parscale and Coulter, too, for that matter. To me, it's the sense of their inner nihilism combined with a 'bring it all down around us' rage that disturbs the most deeply. Thank you, Noah.
Ignoring all of the Antifa forces in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy??? Normandy could not have happened without them.
3:05 - The meme is obviously about the Normandy invasion, 76 years ago today, JUNE 6 like it says. Today is the anniversary of that event. Pretty simple actually. Today is not an anniversary of the whole effort against Hitler and Mussolini.
"The Original Antifa" had begun almost two years previously.
There are much better and more accurate ways to honor the Normandy invaders without ignoring the ones who learned how to fight the Germans at the cost of many lives in other theaters.
