Royce White, the 2024 Republican nominee for Senate in Minnesota, wrote in a social media post two years ago that “the bad guys won in WWII.”
White’s controversial opinion on World War II, first noted by Heartland Signal, is still up.
“It dawned on me today,” he wrote in a November 2020 post on X, then known as Twitter. “The bad guys won in WWII. There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.”
…
Yet VoteVets, a progressive political action committee, wasn’t buying it.
“This isn’t just bizarre—it’s reprehensible,” the group wrote in response to White’s post. “His unhinged rants and attacks on his own party show exactly why the GOP’s candidate problem is a threat to us all.”
I mean I don’t think it’s what this guy meant… But he’s kind of right?
There were Nazi rallies in the United States during World war II. Many corporations still in operation actively aided the concentration and execution of millions.
Autocracy is great for corporations. Here’s a neat little list off the top of my head.
GE
IBM
Ford Motor Company
General Motors
ExxonMobil
Coca-Cola
Boeing
Raytheon
Honeywell
Dow Inc.
Dupont
JPMorgan Chase
Citigroup
Halliburton
Goodyear
General Mills
Caterpillar
Revlon
Pfizer
Lockheed Martin
And many, many more…
We were definitely not “The Good guys” through and through. We actively aided the bad guys. But I don’t think that’s what this person meant.
The appropriate response when a fascist makes a good point is to tell them to fuck off, because they’re going to twist that to fit their bullshit.
The appropriate thing when a fascist makes a good point is to find a good rope and a gas station with some good eaves.
Also, the Russians “won,” and that hasn’t gone so well for the rest of us since.
Still Trump claim Russia is totally without blame for invading another peaceful country. And Putin is really a nice guy who is just misunderstood.
So this is perfectly in line with MAGA crazy mental gymnastics.
There’s also that minor historical occurrence that’s referred to as The Cold War. It was pretty insignificant, you may not have heard of it.
Details details. 😋
So who were “the good guys” in World War II in your estimation? Because someone defeated the Nazis and liberated the death camps.
The good guy was Hitler and the Nazis, they were always friendly and waving to everybody. /s
I mean they literally said there were no good guys, no? It was bad people and worse people.
This binary thinking is going to destroy the world, isn’t it? Societies and human endeavors are a messy, complex business.
