    If you want to destroy him, double-down on these delusions.

    Why stop at Elvis? Get him talking about his theory on aliens, ask him to compare himself to Jesus and whether he’d do a better job of spreading Christianity than the big man himself, get him to discuss how to split Gaza to make everyone happy, ask how a successful coup of the whitehouse would look like, maybe even ask if Rosa Parks was being reasonable by not getting up out of her seat.

    You don’t destroy people like this by pointing out how stupid they are, because those die-hard followers will still worship him if he answers all the above. Where he’ll be destroyed is in having those on the fence go from “he’s a bit crazy, but he’ll do something, so I’ll vote for him” to “he’s fucking nuts, he’ll do something crazy, so I’ll vote for Biden”.

        OP is correct in that this approach would get more votes for Biden, but not for the reasons they think. You’re not going to convert the cult members. They’re long gone. Also remember that Biden got elected not because he was amazing, but because we endured 4 years of Trump and didn’t want more.

        What you will get, though, are people waking up after 4 years of not Trump, 4 years separation from his shit show of a presidency, realizing, “oh shit, yeah, now I remember that Trump is terrible, I need to make sure he doesn’t get elected.”

      Have you seen his, ahem, retruth of the video ‘and God created Trump’ video? He’s literally comparing himself to Jesus. And his followers went wild!
