    Fact checking isn’t hard if you go by facts. Your response about ‘sounds like’ is contradictory is so many ways

      For fucks sake did you not exist between the years 2016 and 2020?

      My mom literally still thinks Obama is a Muslim.

        It sounds like your mom’s an idiot & I question your judgment if this is your metric.

          I don’t need to defend my mom against internet strangers, but I assure you she’s not dumb. She’s not even the most brainwashed within my family with regards to Republican talking points. She’s one of the more reasonable ones.

          Are you seriously so fucking ignorant of America that you don’t know of how a Obama-birther thinks? Holy shit man. Are you young? Please tell me you’re some kind of Zoomer or something who is new to this politics thing.

          At least my generation is mostly about us talking about Birthers / Q / Boogaloos / Manosphere bullshitters in our families (even otherwise reasonable people who have drunk the Kool-Aid), and suddenly I come across someone who is somehow completely ignorant of what is at play or what is at stake here. I almost envy your naivete.

            Don’t worry. My mom and step dad are the same, and they are definitely not idiots. I think I’ve actually gotten through a bit to them, though. I’m hoping i can actually flip them before November.

          Homie. Why you malign OP’s mom? You know there’s been a political “rearrangement”

            He maligned my mom because he’s ignorant of the Birtherism thing. Its… fine. I like that kind of optimism actually. It gives me hope for the next generation.

            2016 was a long time ago. Its good to see these issues being forgotten. Lets not go back there, vote Kamala. We’re not going back.

              It’s cool to love and defend your mom, friend. Sorry I wandered into this one. I love my mom and respect her, actually we agree on politics and such, but I do not enjoy her company. Familial piety and all that.

      Oh sweetie. I’m sorry to ask this,but where the fuck have you been the past 8~9 years!? C’mon dude. We’re in over our heads inside la-la land; where you can just make up whatever you want and hordes of people believe it because they want to. Facts don’t matter if you don’t want them to.

        Well no shit. You still have to say something. Even if you question if there is a soul on the receiving end
