With a divided electorate and gridlock in Congress, the next American president could easily become consumed by manifold challenges at home.

    I’m pretty sure if the Reds had won that one, a similar or worse slaughtering would have taken place.

    Oh no! Don’t massacre all of the antisemites and fascists in my nation!

      but that’s just it, they didnt.

      let’s look at the case of hungary. the respectable conservatives and the fascists murdered hundreds of thousands of fellow hungarians.

      the evil russian hordes that conquered the country… didnt. they did super minimal purges. sadly, they let the vast majority of the fascist scum live.

      so no, preemptively doing mass killings because the other side would do the same is a fascist/colonialist/racist myth.
