    That might actually be a reference to what a lot of people said in Western countries when the train was invented. The idea being that when they sped up their travel time, the physical world became smaller. This was also in reference to the telegraph in the 1800s.

    “We traveled at least eighteen miles an hour when at full speed, and made the whole distance averaging as much as twelve miles an hour. This seemed like annihilating space.” - Ulysses S. Grant, 1839

    Rivers of Darkness, “The Annihilation of Time and Space”, Rebecca Solnit

    Albeit hamfisted, but I would presume that’s what they’re referring to.

    Something I’ve noticed when it comes to rhetoric on Trump now is that a lot of his supporters are just reposting and repeating what is said from the White House verbatim. They don’t really have a way to defend this one so they’re doubling down. At least in 4 years I can remind libs that their precious state department was completely “flipped” into this only a short time ago and watch them crash out entirely. Not that much is different, regardless.

    Reality truly is stranger than fiction because you cannot tell me that if you read this in a book you would not cringe at how on the nose it is.
