I assume that America wins some kind of award when we get to 1,000,000 dead? Less than 200k to go!

toddlers have more sense then this. You tell them don't put your hand in the fire it'll burn you. a radicalized republican would jump in a pit of lava if a democrat told him not to do it

In that case, it might as well be considered natural selection...

We can just start playing 4D Chess and tell them to do thing we don't actually want them to do, and tell them not to do things we actually want them to do. big brains right there.
