        This is what resistance looks like. This what it looks like to help a former enemy because it is the right thing to do, and is what we are supposed to be as a country. Contrast that to the capitulation and utter weakness of of our illegitimate president and a feckless congress.

        Trump would have applauded the blockade.

        We need more leaders like we had back then. Berlin airlift saved Germany from the Soviet’s clutches.

        The blockade probably helped to elect Truman, because of his strong response with the airlift -- he was very unpopular (in the polls) but gained support right at the leadup to the election of 1948.

        I remember learning about this in grade school, and feeling so proud of my country. I hope I can feel that way again some day.
