English term
Try to make that happen
English

Literature
A guy humiliated a gay in front of everybody. The protagonist interfered and revealed that the guy also did sexual harassment to other people. Experiencing such harassment from that bad guy, many girls there agreed with the good guy. The good guy said
"There you go. Try to make that happen and shut the hell up"
So what does "Make that happen" mean in this context? I searched for the meaning and got only "To do something and complete it" But I cannot figure out what.
Please help me and thank you very much for your time

You have the meaning right, but you neglected some of the setup. The bad guy says that the girl tried to initiate sex with him at a party and that she seems to do this with every boy at school. He says, "If there is a guy at Bayview that you have not tried that with, I would love to meet him."
At that point, a computer nerd raises his hand. (Indicating to me that she has NOT tried that with him.)
The bad guy comments, to the girl, "There you go...." meaning that she should try to initiate sex with the computer nerd.
At least, that is how *I* read the passage.

: For anyone who's confused by this question, the context is in the link provided by Tomasso. It's very different to the context given by the asker.
