Americans at that point in history were pretty much identical to the British :ssh:

Eh, in the sense that Australians and Anglo-Canadians compare to Brits today maybe.

Probably the biggest underlying tension between the colonies and Britain was that we're talking colonies that had been started with waaaay less direct involvement of the motherland, and had been existing like that for awhile before the crown decided to get much more deeply involved.
So you had whole areas that in spite of their dominant Anglo origin, were really their own thing with little British identity. Namely New England.
And then there's the Appalachians which were chalk full of Scots and Scots-Irish, and basically lived independent from colonial government as much as they could, let alone London.
Plus all the German farmers in Pennsylvania.

Well, that's news to me. I thought the Roma and Turks were two and three on that list, to be honest. Apologies for being uninformed.

Turks?? I've never heard of the Nazis having any particular designations or plans for Turkey in any way shape or form.

Hell the only reason Hitler hosed around in the Balkans in the first place was to close off the area as some big beach-head for the Brits to come through. Turkey was too geographically cut off by the Aegean to matter in that equation.
I don't think he gave a flying leap about Turks in the slightest.

It should also be noted that not all Slavs ranked the same on the Nazi racial hierarchy. Poles and Russians were, of course, only a couple steps up from Jews, but others like Croats and Slovaks were thought, though not fully Aryan, to be tolerable enough as long as they went along with plans for the New Order in Europe.

It's funny how much of that falls in line with Nazi goals.

Want to divide and conquer Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia? Pick one type of Slav and allow them an ethnostate and "good one" status, while occupying/annexing the others.
VIOLA: Slovaks and Croats acceptable Slavs.

Want to conquer vast eastern european steppes and fields for Lebensraum? THE PERFIDIOUS SUBHUMAN POLE AND EASTERN SLAVS MUST BE LIQUIDATED.

Yeah, the Nazis' racial ideology was very much a slave to their political goals. Before the war, they thought of the English as being basically on the same level of the racial hierarchy as Germans. Then once the war began, they decided "well, actually, the blood of the Anglo-Saxons has been diluted so much by Mediterranean people from France that the English are no longer true Aryans."

"Haha check out these loving Jews with their curly hair, angular features, and large noses and eyebrows!"

To YOU. This is the dude that handed out copies of the front page headline about how great a lover he is. You're projecting, his entire life if he wanted something he got it. Period. You can speculate all day about how unhappy he TRULY is, all DEEP DOWN and poo poo, but I really doubt trump HAS a deep down or even the ability to self reflect like that. He was doing the same exact poo poo at 65 that he was doing at 25, that's not a person who is unhappy with their life. I'm sure when the judge put him on an allowance he was grumpy because, for the first time in his life there were restrictions, but he's never had that happen again and went back to his previous way of life. Seriously, that's not the behavior of a man who is unhappy. He's reportedly unhappy being the president, that's not the statements or behaviors of a man unsatisfied with his normal lot in life. He's happier, richer, and better off than everyone in this thread put together and will be until the day he dies. In his mansion. Surrounded by servants and people who love him. He'll get a bigger tomb, more honors, and be remember FAR longer than any of us. Poor guy :(

Perhaps Rall believes that the supposed good Obama did doesn't outweigh the morally heinous stuff he supported.

Rall is practicing a sort of "nothing matters they're all the same" nihilism that dovetails real nicely with his Russian boss's interest in disinformation.

There is a substantive difference in stupidity between "haha it snowed, therefore no climate change!!" and outright "haha, we're having horrible freak climate alterations from the norm, therefore no climate change!!".

I love AOC because she's everything republicans hate and fear, a young poc woman who can talk circles around 99% of conservatives. The only young conservatives left these days are all either fascists or religious nuts, so all the old guard can do is watch as a new generation takes over and hope that Trump will somehow fulfill his promise of getting rid of all the dark-skinned ones.

They smother their own promising young candidates too half the time.
In the CT governor race the Repubs actually had a Millennial woman who was a successful mayor of one of our cities, she had chutzpah, broad appeal, young energy, was not Trump aligned.
The sort of person who worried me because if she ran in the general she could probably clean up. Hypothetical general election polls demonstrated as much.

She never even got to the primary, and then ran as the running mate for a guy who didn't even win the primary. The Republican primary voters burned down their own young hope, in a very blue state mind you.
They are terrified of anything new to the extent of extinction and suicide.
