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.
