It’s good to know that in the midst of tragedy, we can always count on Ian Millhiser to show up with an absolute garbage take on the situation. Here’s the ThinkProgress tool’s offering regarding the devastating fire at Notre Dame cathedral:

The fact that a human achievement that took a century to build can be burnt away in a few hours is such a horrible metaphor for democracy in 2019. — Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) April 15, 2019

See what he did there?

you're right. it is a horrible metaphor. https://t.co/keicJUtuil — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) April 15, 2019

Everything Ian Millhiser does is horrible.

Resist the impulse to politicize for just once. — Kip Parker (@KipParker3) April 15, 2019

He can’t. He literally cannot.

There's just an intrinsic desperation to always bring it back to politics.https://t.co/LvKKRe1qn8 — Holden (@Holden114) April 15, 2019

Every time.

Just be thankful Merrick Garland isn't here to witness this tragedy. God rest his soul. https://t.co/bMKz72ojZE — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) April 15, 2019

Heh. But seriously. Something is very wrong with Ian Millhiser. Like, psychologically wrong. If your instinct is to turn an international historical and religious tragedy into an opportunity to make some bizarre political point, you’re not right in the head.

I know it's hard, but try not to be an ass at a time like this. — John Fenton (@jhfenton) April 15, 2019

Evidently not. Here’s some parting advice for him — not that he’ll ever take it:
