I can't believe how many otherwise liberal friends I have that have become rabid paulites. There's something going on there that has the feeling to me of a tidal wave. Scary as shit cause you can't talk to any of them with any degree of logic. Most start spewing alex jones nonsense after 30 seconds. There's a lot of them. It's a movement. A bowel movement, for sure, but it's something that needs to be dealt with.
