Freepers: Hiroshima & Nagasaki are more beautiful today than before WW2. Modern nukes are "clean"

[Mrs. Overall]

I cannot believe the stupidity of Trump's base defending his comments about wanting to use nuclear weapons.

There is a freeper thread posting photos of modern day Hiroshima and Nagasaki with claims that the cities are now even more beautiful and that they are radiation free. This seems like something from The Onion.

They are also claiming that modern nukes are "clean" so no big deal using them.

And, several are saying that our tax dollars have paid for nuclear weapons therefore they need to be used.

The "followers" of Trump are absolutely terrifying.

I can only hope these people are trolls just trying to be outrageous.

They have no idea about MAD.

4. I saw that. They're legitimately stupid.

They also fail to ignore that nuclear weapons now are hundreds, if not thousands of times more powerful than when they were in their infancy. Even tactical nukes cause a devastating environmental impact. A small nuclear attack would cause enough global cooling to kill hundreds of millions of people.

Dear Freepers - want to freeze or starve to death? Nukes are a great way to do that.

5. You can bet

they're as serious as a heart attack

6. Of course these idiots want nukes used

Because they can finally act out their doomsday prepper fantasy.

7. How is it possible for people to be so dumb?

[gratuitous]

8. They're an interesting species, aren't they?

They can't imagine why anyone would get too upset if the U.S. started dropping nuclear bombs at various sites around the planet, but they're still nursing intensive care level butthurt over episodes that never happened, like Michelle Obama's "whitey" comment.

9. I...

...just don't know what to say to such utter stupidity.

10. freepers often call for nuking the middle east

The very smart randy Newman wrote a song Political Science, "let's drop the big one," which captures the real views of millions of Americans. Check it out to understand the typical Trump supporter. Which is to say the typical republican.

11. Clean nukes - is this the same as clean coal?
