This conservative did exactly what your question posed - voted for Obama in 2008 because I was anti Bush (mostly the wars, which Obama has done exactly the same as Bush!) I have learned my lesson and will vote Republican no matter who they nominate.
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.
