UFC fighter Gaethje after the #Idiocracy challenge fight, proving he has what it takes for a #Trump / #MAGA senior government position:

@whybird I will trivially accept the 'I am not smart enough' part. But for me, the amazing thing about both the US declaration of independence and the constitution is how _legible_ they are to someone fluent in modern English. And of course, how far off current US reality is from from these aspirational documents.
