Someone in one of my circles just quoted the fake trump quote about republican voters being rubes... Even had the misplaced confidence to claim he said it on Howard Stern....

I just said "i though that was made up..." which led the person to actually google it and find the ~10 year old snopes article about it being fake...

My jokerfication intensifies!

      Very true, something about the scale of red scare propaganda makes it more expected that they would believe it tho. Questioning it would upset the status quo and the fantasy world they enjoy.

      In fairness, Trump thinks everybody is rubes, its part of being a narcissist.

        Have you seen America in general and his life in specific? That is an accurate assessment

    This really just tells us what libs think of other people, even other (conservative) liberals. Theyre always the smartest person in the room, theyre hip, with it, oh yeah baby, its jazz man. We just wouldnt understand.

    (libs, being fascists, do not actually like jazz)

      That's exactly the vibe I am starting to get more and more now. They have always been like that, I just have been able to look past it when its the ones i love. Thanks to them tho, I actually find myself more receptive to admitting what I don't know because watching libs confidently be wrong is embarrassing.

    My heart and my best intentions tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.

    Now that's a real quote.
