He's ready for anything

Grandpa won't need to go to Germany for round 3 with the NAZIs. They are right around the corner wearing MAGA hats.

Well, Fascism is on the rise in Germany (and pretty much everywhere else).... Makes me incredibly sad and frustrated to see what's currently happening

It's as if people have learned absolutely nothing from the past; not even the Germans. It's enough to make you cry.
- There is a set of grievances and motivations the bigots have that are not being addressed.
  And no one has come up with an effective counter strategy to the fascist manipulation playbook yet.

Based antifascist grandpa

ITT: weirdly a lot of people assuming that Grandpa votes Republican based on nothing besides his age and love of guns

Dude looks and acts exactly like my great grandfather who served in the navy kn WWII. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and hated Republicans until he died in 2017.
- ... So was my great grandfather, but he was an old school Southern Democrat, he even voted straight ticket. I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't be fond of modern Democrats.
  People forget that the Democrats of the early 1900s aren't the same as today. Remember that Republicans are the party of Lincoln, but I wouldn't be surprised if modern Republicans wanted to bring back slavery.
If you were in a casino, and you had to place a bet on it, we know where your bet would be as well.

If he trains to shoot Nazis, he should just pin a MAGA cap to his range target.

The gun mount only turns 45°.
But that's his best cap!

Grandpa may not like fascists. Don't make assumptions.

When I was a little kid I asked my grandfather one time what it was like to “fight evil”. His response was something along the lines of “I didn’t fight evil. They were just a bunch of scared kids doing what they were told. Just like me.”

My grandfather fought in Europe, but Japan was still what kicked off WWII. So, I was super nervous about bringing home the woman that would become my first wife for the first time. Her family was from Okinawa.

When we got there he sat down at the kitchen table and talked to her for a long time. I was in and out doing stuff for the dinner, but they looked happy enough. Later that day he caught me outside and gave me a hug. He told me that she was a good woman and I’d be crazy if I didn’t marry her.

I really miss my grandfather. He was mostly a good dude.

Here’s a picture of him during the battle of the bulge. It’s from a book I have, but this picture was originally published in “Yank” magazine. The original clipping sat over his chair in the living room my entire life.

Plot twist: he is German.

Respect, going to the range can be a family experience.

Not so sure about Germany round 3 though.

Excellent 👌

Funny thing, he'll never expect to be part ofround three, coming from his maga buddies that are shooting right beside him.

Absolutely! Killing Nazis should be apolitical....
The post is overtly political, saying grandpa here is preparing for Nazis 2, the sequel. Secondly, choosing Lemmy over Reddit is a political choice itself. It's much more mainstream to just use Reddit, so to go against it is political.

I'm jealous of Grandpa if he gets to shoot that and I don't.

Since most of you guys missed it, that's something that might be reality in a few years. A fact checking magazine found out that members of the AfD(literal Nazi Party with currently 20-30% of votes depending on the region) and rich people had a meeting where they discussed the misplacing of immigrants and political enemies to Africa. Currently our only hope is to get our lawmakers to finally start the banning process of this party. It is possible, but this pussies are afraid, since it will start an absolute shit show from their supporters.

If grandpa's still voting R, he's voting for the fascists of the 21st century.

If you want to know what you would've done living in Germany in the 1930's...

So fucking dumb.

"In case they want round three, so we can waltz in years late and claim victory, then spend decades destabilising the planet for profit oooooeeeeeee"

This kind of "America did nothing in WW2" rhetoric is almost as r-word'ed as "America soloed WW2." You're an idiot if you think America was "years late" and didn't play a huge role in the European front. Not even to address the Pacific Theatre.
- Just say retarded, man.
- I lived in Russia, and in History class I was taught that Stalin singlehandedly showed up to save those poor helpless Europeans from bloody nazis, because it was the right thing to do.
  When I loved in Europe, it were the Jewish partisans who won WW2 through brain drain on Germany, and the stupid Nazis killed themselves.
  In the US I found out that the thing in Europe was typical Medieval European Kingdoms in a fight, and the real high-tech stuff was in the Pacific.
  Now as a programmer, I know who truly won WW2: it was our legendary bro Alan all along.
