And you believed it all [View all]

They told you that Covid was a hoax
They told you it would disappear in the spring
They told you it was no worse than the flu
They told you that you could cure it by injecting disinfectants
They told you that you could treat it with horse de-wormer
They told you children were immune
They told you the vaccine was fatal

And you believed it all.

They told you the election was 'stolen'
They told you they had the 'evidence'
They told you that their audits would show it
They told you that their lawyers could prove it in court

And you believed it all.

They told you January 6 was 'just another tourist day' at the Capitol
They told you it was BLM, antifa, and the Democrats who rioted
They told you it was the FBI staging a false flag operation
They told you it was a peaceful protest
They even told you it actually never happened

And you believed it all.

If you've ever wondered why intelligent people think RWers are gullible fools, consider all of the above. It only takes a modicum of common sense to understand that only those with NO common sense believe in stories that change every day, in 'facts' that are often contradictory, or in an endless litany of predictions that never come to fruition.

Mike Lindell et al have yet to produce any evidence of a stolen election, Giuliani and Powell lost all of their court cases, prominent anti-vaxxers have died of Covid, and those who know what happened on January 6th are refusing to even discuss that knowledge, no less testify about it under oath.

It truly boggles the mind that anyone with a functioning brain can continue to ignore the obvious - but then, I'm not a member of the party that believes in Jewish Space Lasers, liberals eating children sacrificed in the basement of a DC pizza place, or drinking my own urine while awaiting JFK Jr. to resurrect himself from the dead in order to run as Trump's vice-president in 2024.
