        In case you’re asking about the phrase itself, it means to let someone continue to do what they’re doing to get results that will probably happen from the path they’re on.

          Oh. OK.

          Thanks

          I mean, I don’t agree with the sentiment, but thank you for explaining it. I was always a little fuzzy on what that metaphor meant.

            More like, “let’s wait and see what happens”

            If I understand the metaphor correctly

              So how would you interpret that being used in this thread? Something is not connecting in my brain. It’s too ambiguous!!

                umm… I think the commenter who used the metaphor was trying to say that they want to wait and see what Miller will do before theY (or we) react.

                I disagree-- I don’t think anyone needs to wait to see what this not-neo Nazi will do, as it’s been crystal-clear what his intentions are since he was born. This guy came out of the uterus Siging Heil. he’s the kind of guy who would call Hitler a ‘pussy’ for not going ‘far enough’

                  No, they’re saying leave the would-be attempted assassin alone to see what happens

                    I think you’re arguing with a bot or someone with multiple accounts and too much free time. That escalation was wild

                    funny, because I’m pretty sure I know what I’m saying since they’re my own words coming out of my own mouth. it’s extraordinarily arrogant of you to think you can just hijack what I said and assign a different meaning to it while blaming ME for YOUR assholery.

                    SO 1) you’re definitely wrong, probably because you’re obviously lying about what I said to make yourself look better

                    1. if you can’t defend your shitty argument, just admit you’re wrong and dip out

                    2. if you can’t - or won’t - do #1 or #2, at least just shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing yourself. there’s only so many teenagers who will be entertained by an adult punching themselves in the face
