Reality is satire now, which is something fascism always does, as has been pointed out by people smarter than me on the topic, but is weird to see in real life.
I cannot tell whether he really said this, and it doesn’t even matter. I no longer care, because he’s said things at least this crazy and I can’t possibly think he’s more insane than I already do. You could tell me he got on stage and said they keep hay in the White House fireplaces to feed the llama they’ve hired to lick his balls clean in the morning, and I would not bat an eyelash.
It’s infuriating that far too many people are nodding along with him, but that’s what we’ve apparently become.
