Wait...why cull their voter base?
They don't need voters any more.
I have a feeling they're going to define anyone who has a college degree and leans anywhere to the left of conservative extremism "low IQ trash".
Yep, the Nazis defined socialists as degenerates, so I expect any sign of empathy to be seen as a sign of low IQ.
They’ve thought this for decades. Tradespeople have been resenting college nerds who don’t have common sense (funny thing is I’m both of those things). And the cheaters (like tax cheats and grifters) think that the rest of us are dumb for not cheating to get ahead.
Shit! I just paid for a vassecectomy!
I mean this is less of a "government funded" thing and more of a "you get it done or we cut your balls off ourselves".
And personally, I'm of the opinion that now that they want undesirable people sterilized, I won't submit. The worst thing we can do right now is give them anything.
It was just some gallows humor. Real tiny gallows.
Yeah, that's why they're trying to make questioning Trump's greatness a mental disorder. So they can identify us as irredeemable to dispose of us
Probably worse, enemies or the state. Anyone not in lock step will be put in a camp...prolly about a year out...stay safe
Maybe, but I think it will probably start with the amount of melanin you may have first.
Your college degree will be the new “Star of David” to identify you to the authorities.
Ironically, many of the Republican asshats have degrees, even from (gasp! shock! horror!) Ivy League schools...
I read the article. He defined it as people that like the Fast and the Furious franchise.
I’m not entirely opposed to his suggestion.
He also attended a white nationalist rally that got him fired from his job as a Trump speech writer, suggested rewards for sterilization like "air jordans", and a few more pieces that suggest he's got a pretty easy way to determine who is "low iq" at a quick glance.
He wants to euthanize non white people
Edit: Sterilize, not euthanize. I'm sure he would hate to kill all of them
He wants to *sterilize people, not euthanize (according to the article). Maybe he wants to euthanize some people too (likely) but that's not what the article is about. Euthanasia =/= sterilization.
He's describing MMA fans, and people (in the USA) that watch fast and the furious... Remember (last month) when Mango Mussolini went to UFC in FL? ...yea, he's hating on the voter base that got him where he is.
He wants to offer air jordans to people that volunteer for vasectomies... uh, they can keep the shoes, but I'm down for more people that cannot afford vasectomies or people without health insurance (there's an abundance) to get them.
I understand the story that this article is attempting to illustrate, but you're conflating things. Also, I'd hardly consider the Independent as a reputable source.
Also... I'm getting a little bit tired of outrage that has no output. So this week we're surprised and outraged about another white nationalist in this administration?
:: yawn::
"Like" as in, present tense?
I liked it as a kid but I think I outgrew it...so I guess I'm good?
Doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...
Ahh shit.
Most of Trump's base was probably cheering him on until he got to this part:
Let's be real, they're never going to hear about any of this.
