“Were there Rolcons during WWII?”

what do you think they would have been called then?? i’m sure there were. i’ll have to ask my dad’s take before he forgets. he’s 91 and was a teen then. he has some great stories about his experiences during the war. he was too young to fight, but as soon as he turned 18, he joined the Marines.

haha.. i was reading this whole wikipedia page about who didn’t vote to go to war with Germany... then went and read a bunch of fascinating biographies, almost linked it here, only to realize i was reading about ww1 :/.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_declaration_of_war_upon_Germany_(1941)

“The vote was 88–0 in the Senate and 393–0 in the House.”

when it came time for japan it was 388-1. jeannette rankin voted no not only in ww1 but against japan in ww2. but i’m not sure who did NOT vote. i don’t know why the difference in the numbers of 393 and 388.

I made my rolcon remark facetiously and it was because of comments an obnoxious poster was making.
