It's not that they are any of those things, it's just that people like you say it so much that you and other individuals who are skeptical of republican/conservative ideology, particularly democrats, have come to believe it's true. Interestingly, as this question shows, there's no known foundation for this belief. It's just a very effective slander.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
