Twitter Roasts Fired Google Guy for Dumbfounding Rant Praising KKK Branding
So James Damore — the guy that got fired from Google after he circulated a memo criticizing diversity initiatives and has since become a poster-boy for MAGA-Twitter — decided to publish a poll on Wednesday asking his followers whether they agreed that KKK “title names are cool.”
The KKK is horrible and I don’t support them in any way, but can we admit that their internal title names are cool, e.g. “Grand Wizard”?

As mockery of the poll gushed in, Damore launched into a convoluted defense of his post, deploying a number of big words but making little sense.
From what I can tell, he ends up arguing that people should not make fun of Dungeons & Dragons terminology because that makes people join the KKK.
In any case, Twitter had a good time with the whole thing, as you can see below.
Extremely perturbed by the number of people in my mentions who unironically think the phrase “Grand Wizard” is cool

Damore is Homer casting a vote for Sideshow Bob: “I don’t agree with his Bart-killing policy, but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy.”

All the best tweets begin with “The KKK is horrible and I don’t support them in any way, but” https://t.co/Fy0wpvbD7E

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children, sure, but that’s secondary to having cool dragon nicknames. https://t.co/22xsF2Sp7d
