    You can tell how high the reading comprehension levels are over there when the second guy goes "Covid was created by the government" and the first guy responds "yes, that's correct, covid is a naturally occurring disease that the government can't possibly have any effect on."

      That's been the play since the beginning, they're as immoral as they are stupid.

      "COVID isn't real because COVID would mean my behavior would have to change and I should do whatever I want no matter how much it screws with decent people in the process. But COVID was made by China, so let's genocide one seventh of the planet....just in case."

      As long as the internet or Fox News says it, they will believe it.

      It's almost a prerequisite for being a right winger, that you either are dumb as shit, or just completely lack any form of reading comprehension. This might also in part explain how americans are so reactionary, since most of them can't read for shit.
