    I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

          Reminds me of the theory explaining why he say other countries are emptying their “insane asylums”.

          He was told immigrants are seeking asylum, has zero clue what that means, and determined that it meant countries are emptying mental hospitals and sending their patients to the US.

          I fucking hate that things are so fucked that I actually took a second to evaluate that. In ANY other context I would giggle and move on.

          Well done. I hate this timeline
