Clearly most of those followers are going to see this stuff. I wonder if this gives them second thoughts? Seeing him get duped so badly and dressing as a lesbian etc. plus thinking he committed an act of terrorism. Do they all just get a dose of reality and realize they are following a fucking idiot and give up on this stuff? Wishful thinking on my part?

Where after pushing the button to kill somebody they don't know, the people who did it find out the box is taken away to be given to somebody else who doesn't know them?

On so many levels.

From how the far right (at least these yahoos) think liberals act. Compliments mean - on physical appearance. When told to go further than 1 stream of insults to prove disrespect for the Trump doll - they go straight to violence, and on to sexual assault.

Then the 'detonate a device to kill a person' part. Dude is hesitant, expresses being disturbed, but later - can not recall which person(s) he did or did not 'detonate'.

I am also disturbed by the level of manipulation. In a surreal way, in these times of mass manipulations, perhaps Cohen is a perfect mock representation of our times.

That said, I am still left feeling quite disturbed.
