    Wow ok

    So like

    I feel like someone needs to bait him into saying the words “final solution”, just so it’s less ambiguous for the 5-10% of voters who are still somehow ambivalent about how all of this is unfolding.

    But at the same time, even if it he did say it, I genuinely don’t have a ton of faith that the fucking dipshits would even acknowledge it

      Most of the US won’t even understand the significance of him saying “final solution.”

      This isn’t me being a pessimist and cynical, I have just met many people over the past few years who are woefully ignorant of basic history :(

      I spoke to someone who somehow confused the American Revolution and the Civil War

        lol yeah… checks out

        If nothing else, the last decade has made it absolutely undeniable to me that there are an absolute shitload of willfully uninformed and intentionally ignorant people in this fucking country, and it’s only getting worse 🫠

      Bait him? Just let him talk long enough. “I got a plan, folks. Not gonna name names, but a man, big man, strong man, he came to me, tears in his eyes, he said to me, he said, when are you gonna do something to finally fix this place up? And I told him, I got a winner, I said. A big, beautiful final solution.”
