The Internet Cannot Stop Laughing At MAGA Completely Missing This Joke (Arabic Numerals) [View all]
https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/arabic-numeral-troll
The account @Polymarket posted this claim that mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani would "require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals."
MAGAs in the comments melted down.
We have "Didn't Trump just make English the official language of the USA? This is asinine."
Another person said, "No! American numerals only! Not terrorist numerals."
And a bunch of people saying something to the extent of: "The Islamification of New York begins."
