    As we are replicating (with distortion of course) the fascist era from the end of WWI to the end of WW2, we have Trump providing the specter of the palmer raids of 1919-1920. I like watching bizarre alternate histories, I just wish this one wasn’t real.

      Some drunk guy ran his truck into a panda express near me which is the same as the Mongolians attacking the great wall of china. These alternate histories are so bizzare bro im so serial.

        Yeah, a drunk guy crashing into an asian themed fast food restauraunt is very comparable to an ex president making promises to deport and destroy anybody too far left of his current politcal position if re-elected. These events are definitely of a similar scale and nature. Thank you for the sane comparison.
