About
99 Percent Hitler or 99% Hitler refers to a hypothetical situation described by an X / Twitter user in which they argued that in an election between Adolf Hitler and a person who is one percent less bad than Hitler, one is morally obliged to vote for the "99 percent Hitler." The post went viral in mid-November 2023 and was widely parodied online, being referenced in numerous memes and jokes as it trended on X.
Origin
On November 13th, 2023, X[1] / Twitter user @JacobUnruh333 wrote, "If there was an election where the only two viable candidates are Hitler and Hitler but 1% less bad, you are morally obligated to vote for hitler but 1% less bad" (shown below, right). The post was a reply to a post[2] critical of United States President Joe Biden which argued that "Biden fanatics simply don't care about the lives of Palestinians" (shown below, left) and received over eight reposts, 180 likes and 920 quotes prior to being deleted. Therefore, @JacobUnruh333's post could be interpreted as a metaphor for the former U.S. President Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
![Biden fanatics simply don’t care about the lives of Palestinians. Cosmonaut Star @Solidarity_Star The ridiculous thing about this is if Biden was somehow "good" on Palestinian issues but genocidal in his intentions towards LGBTQ people like the Republicans these liberals would never support Biden. Biden fanatics simply don't care about the lives of Palestinians. Erin @erinthornemusic · Nov 12 I'm sorry if you have a choice in an election between 1 genocide or 2 genocides and you decide not to vote, you either have a child's view of politics or have ulterior motives and are evil : 1:19 PM .
