a rupar? A rupar is an edited video or audio or in this case a quote which reverses the meaning of what somebody said in a way that you could never imagine it could be reversed. For example if you read that the Nazi guy if you read that his real words were we support DeSantis could you ever in your mind imagine that there was anything that was edited out of that that would reverse it to the opposite of we support DeSantis?

That when kids go back to school and you know around now especially a three-day weekend pretty much the news stops. So what are the odds that the Nazis knew that that was a slow news period? Do you remember when the Charlottesville march happened? Do you remember when that happened? It was in the summer. Do you know what happens in the summer? No news. So when you see an op like that that somehow knows when there's not going to be any other news competing with it is that a coincidence? Is that

something the Nazis figured out on their own? Do you think the Nazis were thinking all right given the news cycle if we get it near the Labor Day there's not going to be a lot of news so then we'll have more exposure? Or is it just a coincidence that they chose so well that they hit that low news period just perfectly because they're really smart Nazis right? Oh no. Every part of this looks artifi…
