Don’t forget most of the fox viewers are far to lazy to get off their asses and do nothing but whine about libs.

They can disprove it by gathering at the Grand Canyon and stepping over the ledge.

Gravity is a lie. It’s God who wants you to be attached to the ground. If He changes His mind, then you’ll float....

They can be found on youtube. I did the lyrics on all of them, and my group (The Freedom Toast) did the music on most of them. Look for the Parody Project, and the ones done in collaboration with The Freedom Toast. Parody Project has done about thirty or forty other ones on their own, too. We have done a few videos, too, but not many. If you search youtube and look for The Freedom Toast, you will find most of them. We haven't done videos for everything yet. you can go to https://www.jango.com/music/The+Freedom+Toast and go down the list of "The Freedom Toast Songs."

All of them.

And if Agolf Twitler promised them heaven in return for their life all of them would comply.

100%

Don’t fool yourself. These nuts are brainwashed and would literally kill themselves for him.

And then they would claim that not being able to jump off the cliff is akin to having a tyrannical government.

Flat Earth doctrine says gravity is a lie, and very few flat earth believers are jumping off cliffs to test it.
