Isn’t this whole thing a 4Chan prank? Why are they all falling for it, do they need a new racist bogeyman that badly that the ridicule for being gullible is worth the risk?

I knew the day would come when daily life would seem like “Waiting for Godot,” but I did not expect to see it in my lifetime. How absurd the left has become—and frightfully so, considering that with one election it can enforce its absurdity upon the whole of society.
