28. My husband's best friend of 40 yrs harps on Hillary constantly.

He belongs to the trump cult and only and I mean only gets his info from Fox News.

He makes my head explode but my husband is more patient with him. Recently an 80 yr old lady in a dive bar got through to him a little bit about trump. My husband was so happy he bought her a beer

I gave up trying to get him to check other sources since he doesn't have the capacity. For example, he insisted that President Harry Truman was killed on Mt St Helens. (The old man who wouldn't leave the mountain was named Harry Truman.) His family made him google it and he still couldn't differentiate between the two Harry Trumans. Finally someone showed him and he conceded the point. He's not dumb, just stupid

So it's hopeless to expect him to competently research anything.

The good thing is that he doesn't actually vote!
