It's like the fascists wanted a new Hitler but went to the cheapest Chinese factory they could find and failed to specify most of the parameters (as I understand it, Chinese manufacturers are pretty good at following specifications, but anything you don't specify might as well be randomized).

And then, when they sent an early sample to show that they're about 33% of the way there, they just cancelled the rest and went with that sample.

The funny/sad part is, the actual Hitler was a beta version of that same process.

The guy was a fucking mess. He had gas that could clear a ballroom. Was addicted to every substance available, had incestuous and pedophilic tendencies, and thought that a fedora and dog whip made him look cool.

Remove the bit about the whip and you could be describing Trump (though the addiction part might not apply to him and I don't know if Trump's reported stench is coming from gas).

The whip thing was him reminding people he was literally fighting socialists in street fights, so unfortunately it did resonate with his base. Like Punisher tattoos and rebel flags, they like cringe shit.
