Trump and his old man for years denied their German heritage by claiming to be Swedish; a thing I, as a German American, find particularly egregious. They damn well knew they weren't Swedes, but said they were. Does he deserve to be lampooned for that?
Aren't the Scandinavian countries German colonies? I know they're related somehow. For awhile after WWII it wasn't cool to be German. You need to put their denial (if it actually happened) in the context of when they denied it. Not in the context of today. But then again you liberals wanna put all of human history in the context of today and want people to skip straight to the (theoretical)end of the evolutionary process and be perfect instead of being allowed to make mistakes. By your logic the democratic party should be abolished because your party were the original racists. The KKK were and are democrats and most slave owners were democrats. So according to your logic, you should all kill yourselves.
Scandinavians are of the Germanic ethno-linguistic group as the Germans are, but are not Germans.
Yes, it did happen.
My family never denied being German, despite that Germany had been the enemy in two world wars. It pisses me off that the Trumps were ashamed of being of my tribe.
No, the KKK are not today Democrats.
Who says liberals don't understand that people make mistakes? Of course, the Democrats were a political party centered around racism, but that changed when they became the party of civil rights, while the Republicans opened their arms to white racists to counter Democratic gains in the days of Nixon and Reagan.
