    “Steve Bannon, another top Trump ally, told The Atlantic that the deranged persona Miller adopts in front of the cameras is just an act. “He plays the character well, knowing he always wants to have the libs’—the progressives’—heads blow up,” Bannon said.”

    The fact that this mentality or narrative was ever bought by anyone is a much larger part of the problem than most people recognize. “It’s just a prank bro” but on a national scale. I love ironic humor/memes/etc. but this type of stuff does make me understand where people are coming from when they say irony has poisoned our culture and we need a return of sincerity.

      I hate caillou so fucking much. Should have called the show “Portrait of a Serial Killer as a Child” instead of that stupid ass name

        People don’t understand that Caillou wasn’t written for kids but for parents. Each episode is about Caillou behaving bad and then showing how an adult can redirect the bad behavior. It’s made extremely obvious in the books.

    Always a sign of a competent leader if you have to yell at people.

    I still don’t understand how this wannabe Nazi got to power though.
