You know, I think a fair number of the regressive are actually looking forward to this. They love LARPing. They LARP as women pretending to be men and vice versa. They LARP as Animated Animals. They LARP that they are Palestinians living under the cruel weight of Jewry. Now they get to LARP as the French Resistance living under Nazi rule… They’ll love it.
