You're vastly overstating the role Americans played in defeating the Nazis. You're thinking of the Soviets.

During World War II, fascists and Nazis were trying to take over the world and Americans marshaled all our efforts to push them back. Today, Americans are deciding whether or not to give them a second term.

Part of this American mythology is that they played a decisive role in destroying the Nazi war machine in WWII. They didn't. The Soviets shouldered the brunt, losing 27 million. In comparison, the US only lost 400,000.

Simply absurd. And such a slap in the face of 257,000 Americans who died. The Russians fought the Nazis heroically, but so did the Europeans and the Americans.

The slap in the face would probably be when the US government gave Nazis a safe haven.

Nope. Pretending the US cared about marginalized groups being murdered is revisionist and insulting to a queer Jew like me. No one cared until their little harbor got destroyed.
