What’s nasty about that?
Anyone here babying old Joes senility? Nope. So why should I baby the OP?
It’s actually quite hilarious if you think about it, even if it’s not due to being senile and just being a flag whore appealing to the low hanging fruit with short attention spans.
Nasty enough for you?

The Democrats goaded the Japanese into attacking us by cutting off their steel and petroleum.

Cutting off their steel and oil was the right move to curb their expansionist strategy. An EoJ/US conflict was inevitable, the Japanese saw the United States as the only impediment to Western Pacific dominance which they considered their sphere of influence so all we were doing was supplying them with the raw material to fight us in the future.

Letting them blow up our old ships in the harbor was the right move too.
Ginning up support for war in the population that at the time didn't want to be involved in a war was another way of curbing Japanese expansionist policies. The part that was brilliant was letting them destroy thousands of lives that day to make people angry at the Japanese.

The conspiracy about having forehand knowledge regarding the attack on Pearl Harbor has no supporting evidence. The belief were the attacks would be primarily on the Philippines to draw the US Pacific Fleet into the Western Pacific where logistics would become the primary issue. Most of the Fleet Problem exercises revolved around this tactic.

In June 2017, Republican Congressman Steve Scalise was shot and wounded by a Left-Wing Liberal Democrat.
Anatomy of the Attack: en.wikipedia.org...
In January 2018, a Large Truck pulled in front of an Amtrak train chartered by, and filled with, Republican members of Congress.
The Deadly Crash: apnews.com...
REPUBLICANs did NOT request any special treatment, security, isolation, or military protection after either incident.
----CONTRAST AGAINST DEMOCRATS----
On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Trump-supporting protestors who felt Joe Biden cheated to win the Presidency, entered the U.S. Capitol building. Some were invited in. Others broke windows and climbed in. The only murder was of a Trump supporter (Ashli Babbitt)...shot by an anonymous Capitol police officer. NO members of Congress were injured.
But Congressional DEMOCRATS were so frightened over this trespassing event, they:
1.) Ordered thousands of additional long-term security officials and National Guard troops.
2.) Had additional fencing, concrete barriers, and other physical protection measures installed.
3.) Ordered extra personal security guards and cameras around their homes in various states.
4.) Democrat-controlled Congress just invested an additional $22 million in their personal security, and $2 Billion in securing their workspace, in and around the U.S. Capitol.

Where would the United States be today if Democrats were in charge, when the nation was attacked by Japan on December 7 1941, or by Osama Bin-Laden's terrorists on Sept 11, 2011?
America's political leaders can NOT be cowering, over-reacting WIMPS, when adversity pays a visit.
With Democrats in charge of our nation at this moment, we are all in a very vulnerable place/position.
We need real leaders again, ASAP.
