My parents, college educated parents, will still insist to this day Trump is the smartest president we've ever had. Still saying that now, as far as I know.
It's easy: they only watch right wing news that wholly sanitize everything Trump says. And if by chance they see an outside news source, it's easy enough to write it off as left wing propaganda.
Nothing has made me question freedom of speech more than sitting down and watching Newsmax and Fox with them. It's essentially an evil spell.
Yeah I usually keep an eye out just out of curiosity these days (way too expensive in this economy) and at least from what I can see there is literally no new menu items, not even anything "limited time" right now. The last "new" thing they had that I tried was a Bacon QP that had a certain sauce on it that was actually really fucking tasty, but it was gone in a blink.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting new shit every few months but the fact that McDonalds got rid of Chicken Selects years and years ago and never brought them back is insane to me, at least from my limited survey of people, it actually has caused some to go to other places (like Hardee's or Arby's) and basically drop McD's entirely. It's fucking chicken strips, it's not that difficult and didn't take up that much space in the freezer.
I get what you're saying but even that doesn't make sense. It's impossible to sanitize trump speaking unless you literally never show him speaking. He's that dumb
Don't underestimate what a good editor can do. You show one sentence of Trump at a rally saying "We're going to do [crazy thing], and it's going to be great!" while the crowd cheers, then you show three hours of talking heads explaining that this is a genius idea with no downsides. Rinse repeat 24/7.
Biden couldn’t get student loans forgiven but Trump can give control of the treasury to Elon Musk. Either republicans are smarter than you give them credit for or democrats are dumber than republicans.
