You’re going the opposite direction of me bud.

At most this is likely a bad coincidence.

Okay, the title is a little weird but that’s probably a coincidence.

And 88? Seriously? It’s a statistic. You can’t round it to 50 or 100 because then it would be factually incorrect.

But why 88? Why not 100 or 50?

Decimals should not be used in fractions.
Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
Nazism, edgism, dogmatic statements, most of Abrahamic-derived morality (esp. as law), welfare for those not in need.

This is either a gaffe or not a coincidence. Why'd they do it this covertly, if they were trying to do it? No one noticed. If they wanted it there, someone would have noticed.

This sounds like a theory you’d hear on 4chan with people hyperventilating about numerical ouija, not an actual threat.

It is rather irrefutable that the current administration has taken on a more Nationalistic identity and politics than previous administrations. Nationalistic politics, regardless of their exact intricacies, tend to follow the same general rhetoric. These sorts of comments and statements are just par for the course for nationalistic rhetoric and reasoning, regardless of reasoning. It's an Us vs. Them philosophy, and that frames how you discuss policy and politics.

Whenever you see a username in an online game that contains the number 14 and/or 88, it tends to indicate that the person behind the username is a disgusting little racist/neonazi wretch. Given the simplicity of neonazi numerology, it is not unreasonable to assume that anyone using those two numbers together is a follower of the same ideology as those toxic gamers I mentioned.

And if you read the press release out loud and record it, and play that recording backward, you hear subliminal messages about Nazis. It’s all part of a conspiracy, just like the chemtrails in the sky and fluoride in the water.

I don't want Jim Crow but making interracial marriage illegal would be pretty damned good policy in my view. I'd prevent interracial sex if it were possible but I don't see that as very practical. No government is able to keep track of what people do in their private lives. It is still quite a grave sin. I know it is morally wrong to race mix.

Yeah, I get that it is seen as "uncool" to want to legislate your morality on everyone- but the older I get, the more I want to anyways. I get where social conservatives are coming from now.
