    Lol. Yeah, and my barber is a secret CIA agent and the checkout clerk at the grocery was secretly a lizard person, of course I don’t have a shred of evidence and there’s no evidence that could falsify these beliefs, but it’s consistent with my previous encounters with lizardfolk and CIA agents.

    What a truly fascinating worldview you have.

      Because right wingers never misrepresent themselves online but the lizard thing is totally plausible ;)

        Obviously they do, but it’s immediately transparent when they do (as it is in that tweet). Conservatives are too stupid to formulate a leftist criticism of Biden, they are incapable of entertaining an idea they don’t agree with and their brains have been melted by a never-ending stream of culture war bullshit, and are just as incapable of comprehending politics outside of Democrats vs Republicans as y’all are. Even in the example you used, it’s not impersonating a leftist, and it’s not saying to stay home or vote third party, it’s just doing digital blackface while voicing their own opinions.

        Conservatives also frequently pretend that leftist criticism of Biden doesn’t exist and will assume anyone on the left is automatically a Biden supporter. I have no idea how you square that with what you’re saying.

        Tbh I can only assume you’ve never met or interacted with a conservative, at least an American one. I can assure you they’re completely politically illiterate and that you’re vastly overestimating them.

        I do appreciate the mental image of a couple of “good ol’ boys” getting together for a book club and reading like Simone de Beauvoir in order to better infiltrate the left.

          A minute ago it was absurd as the lizard thing, now it’s obvious they do but only if it’s painfully obvious… that goalpost is on wheels ;)

          Thanks for that laugh!

            CIA agents also exist and go undercover, that doesn’t mean my barber is one.

                  Yeah but couldn’t they get a better job with all that lizard person knowledge? Thought they were usually in positions of power.

                    If you can imagine a conservative being able to convincingly pass themselves as a leftist then I can imagine a working class lizard person.
