Oh, that's delightful!

It's about time that the heavy Holywood hitters come out - esp. now as the actual people that fought NAZIs in the Second World War are dying.

Generational amnesia is very much a thing and 'boomers like De Niro grew up with fathers that fought fascists, and saw the sacrifices and also the psychological fallout.. Schwarzenegger as well, and he spoke about it quite eloquently.

This reality is what cunts like President Miller never had experience with, so for them fascism is just a cool "who could care less" power trip of which they have no idea of how dangerous it really is..

“I killed the Nazis once, I can kill them again!”-

My 103 year old grandfather as we remove him from the nursing home for bullying the younger old people. He had to come back and live with us for the final couple years.

De Niro's been outspoken the whole time. Much love.
