Did anyone measure the soul of the nation as it vanished? (hexbear.net)

Everyone knows based on an old study weighing people before and after they died that the human soul weighs approximately 21 grams, but we haven't ever had a way to measure how much the soul of a nation weighs.

Now that Trump was shot we all know this means the soul of the nation has been well and truly destroyed, and that leaves us a golden opportunity to weigh the soul of the nation. I've been trying to find some before and after weights but even ChatGPT doesn't know how much the actual country of America weighed either before or after Trump was shot so I'm kind of stuck.

Hopefully this wonderful community can come together and use this devastating moment for something good; we finally have an opportunity to scientifically prove not only that the nation has (well, had) a soul but we could measure it.

nerd "Alas, I believe you have reached an incorrect conclusion that the soul of the nation has left:

As confirmed by President Biden himself, political violence doesn't happen in the USA, ergo Trump was not shot
Considering the events chronicled in Birth of a Nation, this should really be seen as a "coming of age of a nation" not it's death

So, if anything, I think your reading would show an increase in weight as we shackle ourselves with ever increasing chains binding us to Hell" this-is-fine

Oh I see, so basically the nation earned a second soul. We could still measure the weight of the soul of the nation then by just seeing how much more it weighs now.
