[True Dough]

They can have it!

4. Perfect!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. You get to live in an alternate universe and still affect "this" one.

[rubbersole]

3. Claim to be against socialism...

while living off of and benefitting from government services.

6. Florida

5. You get to vicariously enjoy school children being shot to ribbons.

And grandmas at church gunned down.

7. I think their voters are addicted to anger.

Then they feel victimized by doing it to themselves.

They prefer to feel outraged that "schools are allowing cat-identifying children to use litter boxes in the classrooms" -- I recently heard THAT nonsense from a Trump cultist coworker who seems to always be miserable -- instead of ever bothering to fact-check it.

12. Some people aren't happy unless they are miserable.

13. Pushing that conspiracy theory is a sign of just how lacking in common sense and intelligence

these people can be. The nuttier it is, the stronger their defense of it.

17. But... but... Republican lawmakers...

... in Tennessee are even saying it's happening!

Also, Republicans like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor-Greene say it's true. And genius podcaster Joe Rogan says it's happening too!



Obviously it's INSANE and NOT TRUE, but these fools just say whatever to be upset and to make other gullible people the same!

8. Nailed it.

9. You forgot "Hunter Biden's laptop" and "Benghazi!"

[OnDoutside]

10. And you never have to say sorry, or admit you were wrong.

[EnergizedLib]

11. Not to mention

The bar is so low for you that it’s on the ground.

14. Even if the other party wins...

You won't have assistance held back, be wrongfully mistreated, or lose your rights

[Loge23]

15. "I did that!"

When the country is thoroughly destroyed, social security abolished, abortion is a capitol crime, voting is controlled by the ruling party, and public education is no longer funded - you can say "I did that!"

[NJCher]

16. here's another one

republican voter leaving the polls. It kinda' goes with the expression of #7:

"There's something wrong and I don't know what it is but I want it straightened out."

So she voted republican.

I actually saw this on a news show.

[Ligyron]

18. Their choices in media keep them perpetually in fear, as we all know.

So why on earth they chose to keep living there is quite puzzling.

I mean, after a while it would drive you nutz.

Oh, wait...

19. "Their (insert unpassed policy) is ruining the country"

Real progressive items hit a brick wall at the filibuster, but if you're a republican you get to believe they're already the law of the land and thus the source of all your problems.

In general, you become free of facts and reality affecting your opinions. Truth tellers like scientists, doctors, diplomats and inspectors general are all "in on it".

[Wonder Why]

20. There's more:

Anyone can grow up to be an idiot.

You can have a PhD and still not have a brain to think with, proving our contention that our schools are not doing a good job teaching us critical thinking.

You can be born without a brain and still survive and prosper, proving science is wrong.

You can be a good Christian without ever reading and understanding the New Testament as long as you can quote the Old Testament.

Insects have protein as we are doing quite well feeding on maggots.

We are doing a great job showing that we can be an example of how to survive in a dictatorship.
