"Bill is a serial rapist, Hillary had several people assassinated"

A neighbor of mine put up a Trump Pence 2016 sign today. It wasn't exactly surprising, considering many of the redneck knuckle draggers in the area have one, but I was nevertheless surprised by the timing.

Admitting to being a far-left progressive is never a good idea around here, so I just tried to play it cool. I strolled over and asked if he had heard about what Trump said on that hot mic in 2005 and what he thought about Trump's comments.

'Well, shit, we're supposed to be angry at Trump for acting like a red-blooded man, meanwhile the liberal media totally ignores the fact that Bill is a serial rapist and Hillary had several people assassinated.'

That would be rather funny if it weren't for the fact that he's not the only Rethug to think this way. Look around some of the winger forums, even the comments sections in places like Yahoo and YouTube, and it won't be too difficult to find the same sentiment.

Trump wasn't wrong when he said he could shoot someone and his poll numbers wouldn't drop. What's scariest is that he's really just a symptom of the insanity and hatred from which conservatives suffer these days. The difference between him and reasonable Rethugs is that he simply dares to say what they think.

Even if he loses the election bigly, the conservative bigotry won't vanish. In fact, I worry Rethugs will be even angrier than they were after we elected a 'Kenyan Muslim' twice.

All TV is corporate owned and none of them are liberal anymore.

Is full of people that believe Bill & Hill have had dozens of people killed, run drug cartels and is corrupt as hell... Hill's secret plans for world domination were in those missing emails!

They are SO stupid and delusional...

Today's feature was "I accept Trump's apology, share if you do too!"
Earlier this week when Kim Kardashian was robbed, one of their posts said that Hillary did it because (at one time) Kim supported Trump.

At first glance, it looks like you're bashing Dems and promoting CTs.

(And you've already been alerted on)

Read that post and tell me the OP is not horrified.

The OP is just shaking his head. SAD.

She saw a video on YouTube that indicated it was posted by National Geographic. It was a RW film that had all the conspiracy theories in it. The film is posted all over the internet likely using misleading "sponsors" such as National Geographic. They probably used some photos that belonged to National Geographic.

My friend believed it because it was posted by NG.

and only by divine purpose does anyone rise above the stench.

This is old drivel, dispensed in pulpits and across the dinner table for ages. If you open your eyes, most people are the same - good, hard-working, honest, and deserving of more than they get.

These gun-toting psychos believe Hillary is evil incarnate and an existential threat to "their" country.

They're conspiracy theorists, lost in delusion.

They're "marks," easy-to-fool rubes.

They are simple-minded f@cks.

Sorry, but that's who they are.
