@TheBulwark @the-bulwark-online-TheBulwark #AmericanExceptionalism has gone from being a myth to being a joke.

The #UnitedStates will recover, but yes, it will take at least a generation.

#OKboomers will all be dead ☠️ and buried with the shame of trashing their inheritance from the #GreatestGeneration of #Americans.

@aaron.rupar It’s not just the #MainstreamMedia that are #cowards. Almost half of the voters in the #UnitedStates elected COWARDS to *represent them* in #Congress and state legislators.

‘Conservative’ #BabyBoomers have *completely* trashed the #UnitedStates global reputation for courage that the #GreatestGeneration sacrificed so much to earn.

Every #MAGA cult member must be remembered as such. Put a label on them if you have a family tree, and pass it on to future generations!

BREAKING: A 99-year-old WW2 veteran in Minneapolis got off with just a warning from a police officer today after he threw a dozen eggs at ICE agents yelling at them, "The Nazis in Normandy weren't wearing masks you cowards!"

This hero for the ages is reportedly known for driving his motorized wheelchair into lines of ICE officers. #GreatestGeneration

The lunatic spectacle made at the #WEF in #Davos by #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump will be the legacy of #OKboomers that were bamboozled into joining the #MAGA cult.

What a ‘yuge’ disappointment they are, coming after the #GreatestGeneration in #American #history that led the defeat of #fascism in #WorldWar2.

Our family trees on Ancestry.com will record their #greed , #ignorance and #cowardice so future generations will know who they were.

You are wrong. We #Americans who learned #history from school or from family stories of lost relatives understand the costs very well. We won #WW2 at the cost if many American #GI lives. Our #GreatestGeneration came in and fought.

@reneartois Fortunately, the #GreatestGeneration was able to “escape the fact” that the Nazis made the trains run on time. It’s our turn to #SaveAmerica.

I knew my dziadek was a badass who served in General Ander's army during WWII, but I learned today that they had a bear named Wojtek, who traveled across Asia and Europe with them, was promoted to Corporal, and fought at the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy?!

@kennethb And even though #OKboomers are the children of #America ‘s #GreatestGeneration , because of their slavish #cult enabling #DonaldTheDeplorable and his #AmericanCarnage 1.0 and now 2.0, they will be known as the #MostShamefulGeneration in #UnitedStates #history.

@gsymon Yup.

A restored #DOJ will hopefully depose. 🙏

#DonaldTheDeplorable has not only betrayed treaties signed with #Ukraine and #NATO , he has betrayed and effectively squandered the honor of the #GreatestGeneration of #Americans. https://www.thepensivequill.com/2025/02/trump-putin-and-ukraine-21st-centurys.html?m=1

#American leadership on the world stage will not be easily regained when #Trump is unceremoniously ‘dethroned’, but will have to be earned once again - if that is possible.

@citizencohn “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, #POTUS during #WorldWar Two and member of the #GreatestGeneration

FDR’s advice also works if “nothing” is given a space, since the ‘plan’ of #Trump and #Vance to gut #Obamacare and #Medicare is just the “#ConceptOfAPlan.” Which is *no thing*. #USpol #NoFear

#VoteBlueNoMatterWho to #SaveAmerica because #WWG1WGA is true!

The #GreatestGeneration - or #SilentGeneration - is departing the third rock from the Sun in real-time.

⬆️ @davidbootster @xs4me2 @vosje62 @veranderwens @ErikBloemkolk49

>> if… part of the third generation does not know who #Hitler is, then that collective memory is non-existent

That erosion of #collectiveMemory accelerates in the #thirdGeneration.

#Amnesia actually starts with #ecstasy followed by #complacence in the #secondGeneration, that quickly forgets the grief of the #firstGeneration after a major war in which the #greatestGeneration made the ultimate sacrifice.

#PeaceConstant is 3 gens

The #GreatestGeneration Had #Queer #veterans Too

Biden’s #pardon of #gay #soldiers is just one part of #acknowledging their #untold #stories.
