okay, I know they exist, but.....

Went to see a guy who's going to do some body work on my car. He was highly recommended by 2 friends both who are Democrats & who have stated their hatred of Trump.

Well anyway this technician likes to talk & talk. Both times I've met before he's talked my ear off. Today he starts talking politics and he tells me that Hillary should be in prison, but the most stunning statement is that he can't stand Obama because it took Obama 2 weeks to go to New Orleans after Katrina.

I told him that Katrina was in 2005 and Bush was President & Obama was a Senator from Illinois. This guy was totally confused and said I was wrong. I told him to go look it up.

These guys live in an alternative universe.

Everything that happened under Bush seems to be now the fault of Obama. As if they have completely erased Shrub's presidency from their minds.

them on all the facts (real facts not alternate ones) before even discussing an issue. I myself find it too frustrating & tiring to have bring them up to a basic level of knowledge.
