    I suspect the idea is to disarm the folks who are still in denial by making these familiar names sound all cute and cuddly. (He’s not anywhere near successful at pulling it off thankfully, but it strikes me as the kind of thing they’d try to do in subtler ways through their social media pipelines, where there are reportedly stages of indoctrination.)

      I don’t know, I think that’s giving this idiot too much credit. He thought if the last line, giggled like a moron, and hastily threw the rest of the post together.

      The invisible hands behind the curtain, though? Yeah, their motivations would match what you said. And no, I don’t think Jews run the world, to be clear. I just think the public faces of this admin are all stupid as piss, so somebody’s got to be calling the shots. That’s all.

        What? I was talking about what used to be called alt-right recruiting channels. This is the kind of thing they would do (but more skillfully). I got the impression he heard what to do from them and then went and botched it, trying it out.
