          Lets not be hurtful and drag drugs into this. The kind of stupid that believes him is a whole 'nother level of intoxication that requires no drugs

          Its hate and desperately believing Trump/Republicans are “Santa”

            I follow a devout Christian woman on Facebook who is tangentially acquainted to me, and she believes that Communist Muslims are dressing up as Verizon workers and planting bombs or something all over the country to cause a worse disaster than 9/11. This is being signal boosted by disgraced general Michael Flynn and conservative influencers.

            Of course, it’s not real; so when it never happens they will just praise LORD and SAVIOR Donald Trump for stopping these evil Democrats.

            Old people really cannot believe that anyone would just lie like that. They really just fall for whatever they’re told.

                It’s hard to make a “you are required to be truthful” law without it being the sharpest double-edged sword possible. But I agree, there should be consequences. peepoSmile

    Yes, Trump still has at least 35% of Americans duped on every subject. We know.

    These ones that say “half” are especially useless. Don’t even bother publishing if it’s less than 3/4 should be the rule. And, don’t pay much attention if it’s less than 85%, because we got here with only half, and nothing has changed with only 65%.

      The country is the way it is because right at about half of it is rock stupid. A third of it is actually incapable of independent thought.

      Not necessarily. There is likely a percentage that had no opinion or did not answer.

    For not being in a pandemic, yeah, it’s pretty bad. And getting worse.

    This is what happens when you vote for the party that all data tracked over time proves is bad for our economy.

    Or don’t vote. Or vote for insert candidate that can’t win. Since doing those things helps Republicans win.
