    Row 2 would kick in the teeth of Row 3 if they saw them voting for fascists like they keep doing.

      Probably not actually, the Nazi party was relatively popular in America, they really only entered the war to make some money and essentially takeover the global economy and politics.

          I was curious, and it was german american groups like the Gemran America Bund which had ~25,000 members. There were also groups that opposed them and pro nazi leaders were arrested when the US entered the war. So not really broad support by any means.

          Also US companies kept making money in nazi germany, even using forced labor in some cases…

        You’ll upset a lot of yanks who ignore how 'Murica sat out most of the war, how Henry Ford and others were huge fans of Hitler, and that they didn’t rescue the rest of the world

        No, those are 15th generation.

        We came from Germany to Philadelphia via Dublin a little after them because the French burned our house down.

          Oddly, I’m a 13th gen Mayflower. They liked to keep cranking 'em out for a while I guess. Might also explain the offshoot that became Mormon. We don’t associate with them.

            I estimated the generations for mine and just added two because we came 40 years after. Depending on the fecundity of my line it might be more than that.

    Kids have a way of happening.

    A hundred years from now, there will be a small dip on the chart for this time, that’s it.
