Indeed.
(It’s fun when people that age try to lecture me about stuff I lived through and they just learned about on TikTok.)
They in fact DON’T know that. They fully believe that whoever “fights more” wins. I don’t know why.

Yeah, the “fighter” thing is a huge red flag for me.
The problem isn’t that we aren’t “fighting,” it’s that we don’t have the numbers to stop the republicans. Why is that so hard for people?
Thomas is an amazing cartoonist, and one of my oldest and dearest cartooning friends. He took me in when I was an annoying 23 year old. He taught me the ways of MST3K.
His current strip, Projection Edge, deserves an Ursa Major Award. Please vote for that here! ursamajorawards.org/voting2025/
Grandpa Simpson was a Kaiser aluminum plant worker. He was also a WW2 vet who had seen some horrible things, and had PTSD he never got over.
Grandpa Johnson was a pediatric dentist. He had been a dentist in the navy during the war. He was, furthermore, president of his country club at one point.
I can’t help remembering that tine Bobby Jindal was all “ha ha the government is actually spending money on something called ‘volcano monitoring, how wasteful’” and then one erupted almost immediately.
