"Over 16 million Americans fought in WWII and roughly 16.5 million died." Did you see that on Drunk History of Arithmetic?

Augustus, "MAGA" is a slogan but it's used as an insult to dismiss conservative views. True, but MAGA is also a real movement, not just a slogan. In fact, MAGA is redefining what being a conservative means. For example, being a conservative used to mean standing up to dictators, autocrats, and sponsors of terrorism. Now it means appeasing them in favor of isolationism. Being a conservative used to mean minimal government and limits on federal authority. Now it means giving presidents broad "immunity" and even allowing them to be "dicktator for a day." Being a conservative used to mean favoring free trade and laissez-faire economics. Now it means protectionism and crony capitalism toward nationalistic goals. Being a conservative used to mean repealing laws that force "woke" ideology upon us. Now it means passing laws that force "anti-woke" ideology upon us. I don't recognize the MAGA GOP today. It looks nothing like the GOP that I used to support. Tenchusatsu
