Watched the original 'Red Dawn' last night. Still prefer life during the Cold War.

Because we were involved in an epic struggle worth remembering. If your country had actually been taken over by communism, you wouldn't find it so silly.

It was the military aspect that was silly; obviously that kind of operation would be impossible. As for the epic struggle, I'm glad to have won it and put it behind us. The alternative would be the USSR still existing...

Actually it would probably be good if the USSR still existed, because it would provide a counterweight to China, and the presence of a socialist superpower would push America to the Right.

Beats being plunged into civil war over a SCOTUS confirmation. Or similar unfolding.

You're cherry picking historical events rather than looking at more representative measures of social cohesion.

You guys aren't even sharing the same argument. Antonio is arguing actual history that had life-and-death implications for millions. Noah is... splashing in the shallow end of the pool.

What does that even mean??? Is that just a fancy way of saying you disagree? Were the things I cited not actual history?
