Churchill was regularly crossing the Atlantic to beg Roosevelt to try to garner enough support to join the war. The American people did not care. The majority were against joining the war.

The idea that Americans were anti-fascist heroes is propaganda. They were only angry that they got got by Japan. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 16 points 7 months ago you did nothing loser, it was the soviets and the chinese who did that, you piece of shit permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago I want to note that the grandparents of the modern day Americans saved us from oppression and fascism If you're talking about WW2 then you're wrong permalink fedilink source parent [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml [S] 12 points 7 months ago I'm so sorry that you got your education at a clown school. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 7 months ago My grandfather served in the same Americanmilitary who thought it was inappropriate for him to die in the same trench as a black man or for women to wear pants.
