Reply #30: It's easy to set aside

When the right-wing whackjobs have shot themselves in the head or committed hara-kiri. IMHO, the reason Japan and Germany recovered so quickly was BECAUSE they outlawed the right wing and made it a shameful thing to remember. It wasn't the United States that made them do it, because the U.S. was happy to take in former Nazis and find them a job with NASA or someplace making weapons. They did it themselves, out of shame that they let the right-wingers in their midst get control and run their country into the ground. Kind of like the point the U.S. is at now, although the U.S. is in not as bad a shape. The right wing in the U.S. is reduced to sniping with each other now, but they haven't committed suicide. They will be back, struggling to come back up, just like a ptomaine taco.
