Today would be my dad’s 102nd birthday. An OG Antifa, he was deemed unfit for combat due to having had polio in the 30s so spent the duration of WWII training bomber crews at the Army Air Corps flight school in Liberal, KS. When I was a kid he was an Eisenhower/Dirksen Republican who switched to Democrat when Nixon (who he referred to as “that crook”) ran against JFK.
He would be appalled at what the repubs have become since then.
Happy b-day dad, wherever you are. Still miss you every day.
