It takes a minimum level of introspection and critical thinking for someone to recognize that they're a low-information hypocrite who parroted back what the media told them until they believed it. Combine that with the type of personality who thinks everyone else is a propaganda-brainwashed simpleton except them, and it brings us to today—where people still justify, argue for, excuse, and defend people acting against their interests.

It's because stupid gets amplified. The other side doesn't play these games typically with the same energy as the right. Mainly because they're mocking how stupid it is than actually believing it. Then you still have some people in the middle, somehow, or maybe some younger folks that are like: that's a good point!

I'm all for knocking down Vance for saying obviously non-factual shit, but this is a terrible example. He's not looking at any pricetags there except the ones behind him on the right (his left), very briefly, which are all, actually, around $4. He's shooting from the hip and uses the realistic price that came to mind and may even be the average price where he lives.

There's lots better examples. This isn't one.

And they would 100% blame the current price on Biden. Or Obama

Econ 101 is liberal propaganda. They'd rather use much more trustworthy sources, like uneducated neckbeards ranting on YouTube.

Oh but they'll readily pretend to recite from it now while holding it upside down none the wiser. Don't forget this is post truth 'Murica, bitches! 🤘

I've been using MAGoo since 2016.

For those unfamiliar with his oeuvre

I feel like using that quote as a "MAGAntra" is an insult to Adam Savage.

Hey but THREE packs of cookies for less than the cost of 18 eggs!

Man, I never thought I'd appreciate being in a town with a ton of poultry industry.

Yeah buddy we all know this. We knew it then. We knew he was lying. He promised he would lower the prices of eggs day one. He's a liar. But he made the promise, so as stupid as is I'm going to keep holding him to it. I'mma keep bitching.

I mean. He is also taunting the NIH, CDC, and WHO. That's gotta account for something, right?

He does have some control there. I'm sure bird flu containment would be a bit better handled without kneecapping the CDC.

That's the joke

It's been like this for decades. Republicans wreck the economy, but it takes a minute so the effect isn't seen until a Democrat is in power. The democrats fix it, then the Republicans get back in and fuck it up again.

Only this time the democrats aren't going to regain power.

“This idea that science cannot continue until there’s a political lens over it is unprecedented,” said Anne Schuchat, a former principal deputy director at the CDC. “I hope it’s going to be very short-lived, but if it’s not short-lived, it’s censorship.”

If anyone wants to print there own I made these a while back

I mean......that's kind of the point.
