Wanted it for others, got it for himself. Poetry.

So I guess he wasn't proven wrong, good for him, right all the way to the grave

Of course he was proven wrong. He shouldn't've been afraid of the left, when the far right are the extremist terrorists responsible for almost all domestic terror the over 20 years.

He was a nazi shouting about you should kill a peaceful gay hippie because they're so dangerous, when a nazi killed him.

That's called being very fucking wrong
