    One thing that I was fascinated about after reading his manifesto is this part right here:

    To better understand our form of government, I will point you to one of the most astonishing pieces of stand-alone evidence I’ve found: Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton’s 1988 DNC speech where he nominated Mike Dukakis for president against George H.W. Bush. The speech is a vile, mean-spirited roast of Dukakis that makes no sense whatsoever: For Clinton to ruthlessly attack a member of his own party should have been political suicide, and he repeatedly mocks Dukakis’ noble and earnest qualities.

    I went back and watched that speech. It was just a really long list of reasons why he thought Dukakis would be great as president. The only thing approaching a “roast”, and not even a mean spirited one, was when he ribbed Dukakis for his loyalty to a non-Atlanta sports team.

    So, like… I know this dude is totally out of this world bonkers crazy… but I can’t help but wonder what he saw in that speech that he thought was vile or mean-spirited.

    Didn’t downvote, but I can’t read it because it’s paywalled. What was the motive?

    This might sound callous but I support the right of this dickhead to remove himself from the gene pool and would encourage others to do the same.

      If you read his manifesto this guy had clear mental health issues. He believed the simpsons was created by “the elites” as propaganda.
