      Boris wants women in charge of enemy nations, and men in charge of friendly ones, the implication being that women will be passive and submissive. It’s just sexism applied via a geopolitical lens, it’s very dumb

        and also Hillary explicitly running on a "I will start wars" platform. In 2008 she made a campaign promise to "obliterate Iran"

      also history is so clearly full of contrary examples, for better or worse. Many female leaders, especially divinely ordained feudal nobles, carried out unspeakable crimes against other women. And of course men. I recall the "human pig" incident of empress dowager Lu Zhi...

      mother of all content warnings for unspeakable violence

      "Lü Zhi had emperor Hui's Concubine Qi killed in an inhumane manner: she had Qi's limbs chopped off, eyes gouged out, ears sliced off, nose sliced off, tongue cut out, forced her to drink a potion that made her mute, and threw her into a latrine. She called Qi a "human swine" (人彘). Several days later, Emperor Hui was taken to view the "human swine" and was shocked to learn that it was Concubine Qi.

      Boris does a little trolling like this from time to time, the man is sharp despite the bumbling act he puts on.

      American liberals would vote for him.

    When we make communism, if he survives the revolution, can we just convince him he's still the prime minister and that he won so he keeps saying weird things?

      Sure. We can build a whole fake set like the Truman show and a spectrum of carefully measured psychadelics to keep it going for quite a while I reckon.

          It's a good idea. We could script increasingly weird scenarios for him to react to, see what he comes up with!

            For example, wake him during the night to learn that Princess Susannah, a beloved royal, has been kidnapped. As ransom, the kidnapper demands that the prime minister have sexual intercourse with a pig, live on national television, for motives unknown. These demands were posted on YouTube and have been viewed by tens of thousands of people, whilst the topic is trending on Twitter. In the morning, news media stop complying with a DSMA-Notice issued by the government which requested that they not broadcast the story. Within hours, tens of millions have seen the video.
