    Something I find rarely talked about is that even after the Soviets freed people in Austria, Germany, Hungary etc. a huge chunk of people weren't actually free. It wasn't an "oh, we can go wherever we want to" moment and "the Soviets are our noble saviors". I don't know if people in the US actually know what went down in Europe after the war ended.
    Not all, but a terrifying amount of soviet soldiers didn't go back home empty handed: They took girls and young women with them, they raped and stole and they just wouldn't leave.
    My grandmother often told me stories that she and her sisters (age 7 through 16 at the time) lived in constant threat. The town which they lived in had dedicated "seekers" that were spread all around town, informing families that a car of Soviets was coming - they tried desperately to protect the women.
    She told me that each time a car was nearing, all the remaining boys rushed to the door, backing up my grand-grandmother, who steeled herself and faced them each and every time (She was in her late thirties, which made her "less interesting" to the soldiers but she never could be sure if she wasn't going to be taken too).
    The soldiers would knock and just blatantly ask if there were any young women or little girls in the house. She always told them no, she only had those couple of boys left, that were too young to go to war at the time. The brothers would cause a little ruckus, trying to make enough sound so you wouldn't hear the girls crawling out of the window at the back of the house and running into the forest nearby, hiding in a hole they dug and covering themselves in leafs. Always hoping that they wouldn't hear them run for their lives, that nobody would find their tracks in the dirt or go look for them in the woods. They sometimes would come in and search the house, check the attic and cellars, even went into the stables and searched between the rows of cows and pigs.
    She also said that travelers brought similar stories with them, on the run from country to country because it had gotten too bad where they lived or they were just too scared to be at home.
    Not all of the girls could be protected, my granny was the youngest child so she doesn't remember everything anymore, but she often mentioned that she believed an older girl she used to play with back then suddenly vanished, the adults she asked about it just telling her in hushed voices that they took her to Russia because a soldier said she'd make a good wife.
    Yes, the Jews were freed, thank god, but if you were young or pretty enough you still faced the danger of being raped or kidnapped and taken into a whole other country on top of just having been through hell.

      So a man that has stood with our ally Israel, had stood up for American interests against China after years of being taken advantage of, has voiced his support and signed a bill to support Hong Kong, and has given the order to take out a terrorist that has killed thousands of American's (things that other presidents haven't done!) is a 'hateful man' that isn't progressing our country?

    "given a change people are good." I believe the opposite to be more true. given an opportunity people will be incredibly cruel even if they thought otherwise, they might even find that they enjoy hurting others. this is how horrible things were carried out, like the sickening experiments of the japanese unit 731 that make mengele look like a school boy in comparison. those people werent born monsters, they were given a task and in the end they just went more and more extreme.

    Very meaningful to hear these survivors' stories. I'm glad they are hear to tell us about what happened. But it is something else entirely uncalled for to then manipulatively use these stories to bolster a statement about how "hate crimes" (defined stupidly broadly by the corrupt SPLC, who label human rights advocate Ayaan Hirsi Ali an "Anti-Muslim Extremist", for godsakes) have increased since the election.
