        Hitler actually stole that look from him. He was a huge fan of Chaplin’s movies back in the day. And that is why no one can dress like Charlie Chaplin for Halloween anymore 😔

              Allow me to answer a few potential ones:

              He went there to support Home Depot’s lack of opposition to the Georgia voter suppression law that made it illegal to give people standing in line to vote food or water

              Yes, he’s that much of an anti democracy weirdo

              No, he’s clearly never been to a Home Depot or any other home improvement store

              No, he wasn’t going to build anything with a single board of wood even shorter than he is

              No, there’s no reason other than (completely unnecessary for anyone who knows what Home Depot sells since the name is behind him in letters much taller than him) branding and pure idiocy to put one board in a plastic bag.

              Yes, the person working the checkout definitely asked him “are you sure you want me to put it in a bag? We don’t have one that fits…”

              Yes, the fact that the unnecessary bag is plastic might well be a childish “haha I’m using oil based resources unnecessarily! In your face, snowflakes!” message to people who care about climate change

              Yes, he called the board “magnificent”

              Yes, he’s enough of an out of touch weirdo that he did this with a straight face, thinking it would make him look like a badass defender of freedom rather than a sad little weirdo doing performative nonsense to excuse the inexcusable from demagogues on his “side” while demonstrating his “never did physical labor in his life” privilege

              Yes, he’s also the guy whose wife is a doctor with a dry ass pussy

    I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

    He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letter, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

    That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

    ended up dead in Nazi concentration camps

    Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. “The lamp got broken”.
