Hitler Game Sent to Senators Because Trump is Fascist or Something [VIDEO]
2017-03-01
Gamers who love playing esoteric card games are a pretty geeky bunch. They enjoy wrapping their brain cells around games which come with actual booklets to explain byzantine rules.
I know this because I’m married to one.

One card game is gaining a certain amount of notoriety because the game designers just sent a copy to all 100 U.S. Senators.

It’s called "Secret Hitler," a game that "models the rise of fascism in a democracy."

Here’s a brief explanation of how the game is played.

Podesta: "Yup"

Who are the Fascists again?

#1  The irony of this is that the folks who think that Trump is Hitler would have been the first in line to congratulate Neville Chamberlain for bringing back "peace in our time", would have called Munich a great diplomatic achievement, and would have derided Churchill as a washed-up warmonger.
