This is a friend of mine's response after I posted a link to President Biden's accomplishments. She's smart yet delusional. I don't have the energy to argue.
Edit to add: "friend"... she was my neighbor in the early 80s but I haven't seen her since. So not close.

(42,754 posts)But you're right. She's delusional at the very least.

We don't "talk" anymore.

(2,747 posts)My sister started in on a "flood of people with COVID coming over the border". I told her it wasn't true, she insisted. I told her to stop watching Fox. She hung up. And that's it. I'm done with the stupid.

Tell her we have socialism here already, for decades. Good socialism like public libraries and public schools, buses, Amtrak, airports, Medicare, THE MILITARY etc. The list is endless.
Tell her to READ AND EDUCATE HERSELF

(171,057 posts)I plan on finding concrete proof, re: immigration, that she's full of crap. Startling to me is she's Cuban, 2nd generation. I would have thought she'd have more compassion, but nooooo! Also, her husband was military police while in the Marines, but she mentions nothing about 1/6.
Her original OP was a pic of mf45 looking at the Statue of Liberty from a plane, with this:
I remember a man who said, "We need to close our borders."
I remember a man who said, "We need to bring our businesses home."
I remember a man who said, "We need to become less dependent on other countries to survive."
I remember a man who said, "We need to take care of America first!!!"
I told her I remember a man who said, 'grab them by the pussy'...
Didn't seem to faze her.

I just don't think anyone who is this gullible is a smart person, even if they demonstrate lots of knowledge in other areas, any more than a racist is a lovely person as long as we don't take into account the despicable parts of their character. In my view, intelligence is a holistic thing and being this stupid about such a major aspect of the world and the people in it lowers a person's entire score for me ... This woman does not strike me as smart at all.

(171,057 posts)She seemed smart in the 80s. Who knows what influenced her downfall?
Your comparison to racism hit home; I see a lot of that in her even though she hides from it.

A lot of it was recycled from both 2016 and 2020.
