Posted by one of my acquaintances that claims to be an ANCAP but also thinks Fucker Carlson has good ideas, and that trans people and poor people are ruining America. Also worships Elon. I hate these people.

In fox news country this is a super common sentiment. I know people who were actualling having breakdowns a few months ago that in new York they were killing babies and also Kamala was planning to start ww3 and have a draft.

Im dead serious. They absolutely believed it.

On my last visit, a close family member declared that "Democrats are murdering babies". "WHAT?!?" I told them, "That's called infanticide and I can guarantee you that it is illegal in every state in the US and most of the developed world."

They later looked it up online and figure out it is not true.

People I used to think have basic sense are off the deep end believing whatever shit they see.
