We hear him say this stuff and think it's silly, or that he is stupid, but his supporters latch on to this crap and think it is significant.

RW media, such as the Hate Radio that blankets America, have been repeating this "automatic declassification" nonsense over and over, shouting it out like a tent revival preacher. This technique of spouting bullshit with absolute conviction, then repeating it over and over, works on certain people.

MAGAs take up this swill and think by repeating it they have scored a "Gotcha!" on liberals.
