They're going nuts!

This garbage appeared on a FB page I saw. These folks are desperate! Reminds me of a screaming toddler.

"Kamala touts herself to be African American 😠 What a fake. She is as African as Pocahontas Warren was Apache. Kamala’s dad is Jamaican and his dad was a Jamaican slave owner. Her mother is a Caucasian from India. Call Kamala “Jar Jar Binks”- the Jamaican character in Star Wars. Neither of her parents were a US citizen at the time of her birth. Thus she may be a so-called “anchor baby” which, some would argue disqualifies her to become president. If Biden dies, the presidency may go to speaker of the house: Pelosi."

none of this makes any sense at all.

1. I knew that she'd be the one to drive them nuts

Especially how my republican family had to admit that she was pretty.

6. Because

I wanted to show my fellow DUes what we'll have to work against. Please don't suspect my Democratic creds. Been supporting Democrats since Truman! I stood outside a polling place at the age of five and yelled "phooy on Dewey" Mom was a Democratic polling judge.

It's a good idea to be prepared to counter their talking points.

7. Since when did Republicans have a problem with slave owners?

I thought slave owners and their apologists were the GOP's go-to demographic.

9. Keep in mind...

Those kinds of comments are like screaming in an echo chamber. It says a lot about the panic they are in, but who is going to be convinced by that kind of insubstantial hair on fire rambling?

The people who already think that way, (QAnon and low info) will agree wholeheartedly as if it's gospel truth, (pun intended) and the rest of us will find it totally incredulous.

People who find that non-stop spew plausible are already people in that sad batch of compromised dopes who are totally immersed in the dense jungle of their confirmation bias. The circus posters on their walls are taken for real.

10. Don's father could not have been a Jamaican slave owner

Slavery was abolished in Jamaica in 1834 and kidnapped Africans were finally freed in 1838

14. To nip this one in the bud (as we've been through this with Obama)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/natural_born_citizen

Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

Kamala is eligible to become President
But the birther garbage is underway ...

15. Republicans and racists are a special kind of stupid

Kamela's grandfather couldn't possibly have been a slave owner. Jamaica banned slavery in 1834. At best her grandfather would have been born 50 years after slavery had been ended

You don't have to repost every wacko lie they tell. It does no good, and probably does significant harm.
