    I’m torn, there’s public interest in what politicians say, but the only reason these fucking fascists say things like this, is for the outrage machine to kick in and repeat it through social media posts. The Republicans don’t care what they’re monsters spew, but they are turned on an energized by the Lefts reaction to it. I mean, I’m adding to the problem right now by commenting under a post about it, thereby increasing the “engagement” and continuing the conversation, which, in the end, as we’ve seen about a trillion times by now, is there only goat. The more promotional “engagement” expands the reach of their message.

      Right now he’s playing to an audience of Donald Trump. It’s probably better if the average person hears what that sounds like.
