37. Not laughable at all.
Sun Jun 7, 2020, 08:59 AM
Jun 2020

Lots of us thought it was laughable when republicans spread the mind-numbingly ridiculous rumor that Hillary was part of a pedophile ring being run out of the basement of a pizza parlor in New York. I remember thinking NO ONE would believe such a goofy accusation. Fast forward through Q-Anon and Facebook, and the next thing we see is a guy walking into the pizza parlor with his gun so he could save those poor kids. The harsh reality is that Republicans know their people better than we ever will, so when they pass out a flyer like this, they know that millions - yes, millions - of their supporters will pass it on, either gleefully aware that it’s bogus, or woefully unaware as they grab their guns and prepare for they day they’ve heard talk of their whole dad, hate-filled lives.
