Twitter Enjoys Another Round of Baby Hitler Snark Thanks to Jeb Bush
Remember a few weeks ago when we were all talking about Baby Hitler thanks to the New York Times Magazine? Well, it’s happening again, only this time thanks to Jeb Bush.
See, when Bush spoke to The Huffington Post about his “Jeb Can Fix It” slogan, he revealed that he got an email asking if he would go back in time and kill Baby Hitler. Bush’s answer? “Hell yeah I would!”
The snark, naturally, followed:
But would Jeb abort fetus Hitler?

Jeb says he would kill Baby Hitler. But would he advise Mrs. Hitler to abort him as fetus? If not, what then? She has it & Jeb kills him?

There is a lot to admire abou distilling an age-old moral philosophy conundrum to "You gotta step up, man." https://t.co/M3w69sfznW

it seems like the clear thing to do with baby hitler is kidnap him and have him adopted by a jewish family in brooklyn

Better question: If Jeb Bush encountered Hitler’s pregnant mother, would he safely terminate her pregnancy?

Pretty high-energy, imo https://t.co/KJCYLt5WZq

A better question: Would you drive a bus of children off a cliff if one were Toddler Hitler, but you didn’t know which?

Do you ever think that maybe all the time traveling assassins trying to kill him as a baby is the reason Hitler was so pissed off
— ''Steve'' (@extranapkins) November 9, 2015
(For the record, if anyone is concerned about the ethical implications of killing Hitler while he’s a baby, you could always try the safer route of ensuring Hitler’s parents never meet. Though by doing so, it’s possible you create an alternative timeline where someone worse than Hitler rises to power. Maybe time travel isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.)
