There are plenty of crazies and trolls on here too.... you're just assuming it's a joke ;)

Could easily mean serious. If someone has to explain themselves they are not funny or obviously sarcastic.

That last sentence could be applied to just about every ruler ever. That sterilization was also used against anyone who was considered "mentally deficient," regardless of race. There are very few "good" rulers or great men who did "great" things, who did not also do horrific things. It should not detract from the overall good, just as they should be in some way accountable for the bad. Just like the rest of us. It's like cutting the worms and bad spots off a piece of fruit, there is often a lot of good still there. Unless the apple is Hitler or Stalin, and then the whole thing is rotten.

This is why we should never treat U.S. presidents as heroes. They may institute helpful programs or reforms, but they are also always complicit in some horrendous s**t. The border internment child separation camps actually grew more during the Obama presidency than any other

Absolutely. Including the fact that he wasn't the most emotionally present father, and he cheated both emotionally and physically on his wife. I have a question though: Do you know perfect people? I don't. I neither condone nor excuse any of those things. I just put it on one side of the balance scale. On the other side is the fact that he did get us out of the worst economic crisis in history, guided us through our involvement in a World War, and did bring about a lot of positive change. So maybe it's a push: he was neither wholly good nor utterly bad. But if he hadn't been POTUS at all? Think about the implications that for. a hot minute --- look into the alternatives at the time and tell me they'd do better. I personally don't think so.

Wasn't Truman in office when WWII ended?

He was sarcastic... Besides, not everyone on this website is American and can, therefore, be expected to recognise a picture of someone who was president 80 years ago

There's the whole (/s) literally right at the end of his comment. If you bothered to read instead of act like a triggered moron you might not embarrass yourself so badly....Sorry but I couldn't resist.
