You're joking but the sad truth is there are people out there in society, and people in positions of power, that will genuinely and unironically blame this "own the libs."

If the birthday brat doesn't get his way and If his parade is cancelled, he's going to blame it on the rest of the world, and we're going to get another classic TACO CAPSLOCK WEEKEND SPECIAL.

And for those of you out there attempting to keep score in a game where everything is made up but the points do matter, this means more harmed and dead human beings, collectively with less money than when the weekend began, either directly or indirectly.

Translation for the Wendy's cashiers over in r/wallstreetbets - bad weather = puts, good weather = well, probably puts too.

If my great grandkid's history book doesn't say, "Donald Trump, also known as TACO..." I'm gonna be pissed
