In a year filled with cringe-worthy moments, among the most memorable came just a few weeks ago, when Donald Trump traveled to West Palm Beach to share the latest in a series of conspiracy theories.
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure, the Republican insisted, reading a prepared text from a teleprompter. Weve seen this first hand in the WikiLeaks documents, in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors.
It was the kind of speech that seemed designed for the joke, It sounded better in the original German.
With this in mind, consider Slates report on the Trump campaigns new closing-argument ad, which was unveiled over the weekend.

(13,192 posts)Trump is 88% woke.
The 88 is not an accidental value. It stands for Heil Hitler and is a shorthand label for anti-Semitic beliefs.
Along with the 14 words - which identifies white supremacists - it gives the GOP a way to find where another member stands in their belief. Deploable also works to identify like minded people.
And if you find a screen name like "deplorablebob1488" well, that is a full on klansman
88% woke means that he is aware (woke) of the Jewish cabal that controls world affairs, just like Hitler was aware of Zionist interference.
Don't play this off like it's a meaningless coincidence -
