NPC Meme Deserves ‘Person of the Year 2018’ for Exposing Liberal Automatons, by Robert Bridge

The NPC meme is getting all the right people upset. From Robert Bridge at strategic-culture.org:

Nothing hurts more than the truth, and that adage goes far at explaining why the Liberals self-imploded upon being confronted by their hideous reflection in the NPC avatar.
