    Directionally correct? That’s an interesting turn of phrase. So basically saying it’s not right but it feels like it could be right? That’s some straight bullshit right there.

      Fascist reasoning–we “know” immigrants are evil therefore making up shit about them to gin up anti-immigrant sentiment is morally justified–if not required.

      I feel like it’s the ultimate catch all. Absolutely anything is directionally correct. Flat earth? I mean the earth has a shape and there are plenty of flat shapes so it’s directionally correct. Bigfoot? Easy. There are plenty of animals with very large feet. Directionally correct. Hatians eating dogs? Hatians eat animals with four legs and there are both hatians and animals with 4 legs in the United States. Directionally correct. Checkmate Kambala!
