    That was the whole point. Now dipshits can counter with, “Oh when we warned you about Obama it was stupid. Now that it’s our guy it’s a problem.” It was meant to create a mess in a country without critical thinking.

      It’s a reverse cargo cult. Postmodern conservatism. Reality as a team sport.

      Their news is propaganda? All news must be propaganda! The facts aren’t on their side? Facts aren’t real! Their wooden helicopters don’t fly? The ones in the sky are a conspiracy! Surely everybody thinks this way, they tell themselves. They are the clever ones for noticing they’re full of shit. We idiots still believe things can be true.
