    See, by running 99% hitler against hitler, the only people who will vote hitler are the people right of hitler, while all the people who want moderate hitler will vote Democrat, and everyone who doesn’t want hitler will vote 99% hitler too. This model definitely matches observations and predicts every election.

      exactly, elections are literally an episode of the price is right and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand civics or the political process

      (edit: just realising this could be interpreted as some commentary about money/lobbying, when i just meant to refer to libs treating it as a game of “closest without going over” but it’s right-wing policy instead of the price of a dishwasher)

      • You give them a Hitler particle detector and they use it to stay exactly one millihitler away from the GOP candidate and when that fails their response is to decrease that margin to one microhitler in the next election cycle.

        Don’t worry about going over, if a democrat flanks a republican from the right, say by bombing more countries or deporting more brown people, that means all the most extreme republican voters who were about to vote Trump instantly flip over and vote democrat, because 101% hitler is even closer to their positions.
