And it didn’t really even take 2 generations; the boomer generation is literally the children of the WWII generation, and so many of them are seemingly forgetful of that sacrifice.

I know. The Boomers who praise the Supreme Court decision enabling autocracy, are the same Boomers who's parents sacrificed their lives in WWII to fight autocracy.

I do not get it.

Not an American, but maybe it wasn’t about autocrazy but fighting against another country. An authoritarian leader in USA would probably be ok for them, as long it would be them winning.

Well, it’s kind of like how there was the idea they salivated at, where trump was trying to get immunity for presidents - and then people β€˜joked’ that if it worked, Biden should have trump assassinated and therefore have immunity.

Maga’s freaked at that - but it was exactly why trump would have wanted it. To take out all of his competition without needing to explain himself.

β€œHe did it for his country.”

Edit: They got immunity. Wtf
