2. That's like Rethugs during Obama's time

I know Rethuglicans who were convinced Obama is a Muslim, even though nobody told them.
The GOP: a DIY bullshit machine

10. I had a coworker say to a group of us that Obama was a 'Radical Christian'

Which was not long after their 'Muslim' label ran it's course. You could have heard a pin drop when I spoke up and said:

'Oh bullshit! The same people who are telling you President Obama is a radical Christian are the very same people who just got through telling you he was a Muslim. Well which is it, because he can't be both at the same time?'

After I got done saying it, everyone just looked at me with a blank stare in silence, because they all knew I was right. Then my boss said to the guy pushing it, 'Ah ha! He just busted you.'

My point to the co-worker and everyone else present then was for them to think about the shit they are told on the internet, talk radio, and tv instead of just repeating garbage others spew.

14. One group's policies and ideals are failures and they cannot actually do the job...

The only thing they have left is smoke and mirrors, while throwing labels on their opponent to trick people.

Republicans are no different than the people bullshitting their way through their jobs, while manipulating others to do the work that they take credit for as they back stab them. As long as their cozy relationship with the big boss continues, they have nothing to fear. If they do get tossed aside, they still get to pad their resume with their previous ill gotten title and achievements to go elsewhere to rise and exploit further. It is why tRUMP was so attractive to Republicans, because he is an expert at their gimmicks.

7. Might as well make book on their stupidity

Ask your co-worker when this is going to happen, that a Biden administration is going to institute a new holiday celebrating Hitler. Inauguration Day? By April 15? By June 1? When? Make this knucklehead put a firm date on it, and write it down, with today's date: "On October 15, 2020, Knucklehead said that the Biden administration would institute a new holiday celebrating Hitler on (insert date here)." Make Knucklehead initial it or countersign, and then say, "I'll bet you $100 this doesn't happen. Put your money where your mouth is."

I'll make my own bet: Knucklehead's stupidity dries up after you do this. At least in direct conversation with you.

12. Can anyone explain this one?

I mean, I can get some of their hyperbole - maybe if it was about mandating abortions or banning guns - but in what mixed-up world do they get Biden-Democrat-Hitler?

Anyone help me here?

This is dumber than the one in 2016 that went "If you vote for Hillary, you are voting for war with Russia", which we know where that came from.

15. My opinion

Is based on something We’ve seen from them quite a bit lately. The supporters of the “boy”, who is prancing around at his super spreader events, with vile remarks about how his supporters have “good genes” for being there, think Biden will be the next hitler. The same people packing the courts, are complaining about packing the courts. The group trying to rig an election is trying to warn us of a rigged election. Headmaster trump, of the clan that threw their arms up about red flag gun laws, thinks we should just take the guns first and ask questions later.
