One of my favorite moments last year was a visit to DC, and I basically talked my partner's ear off about Grants poor hardscrabble background, his prosecution of the KKK, his willingness to sacrifice for what he thought was morally right, and even his fatal flaw loyal gullibility.

Cause this parent probably lived long enough to see their son's comics become movies. Long enough to realize that maybe, in 1942, they should have spent less time complaining about culture wars and more time fighting Nazis.
Long enough to be forced to realize they sucked ass.

What pages did she rip out of her son's comic books as proof of this vile corruptive filth? This DEI horror? This anti-american trash?
Captain America. And Vision punching an alligator. Both of which are objectively cool as fuck.
