My neighbor said this about Biden about a year ago. Our kids are friends, and they are very nice people. It's the only time something remotely political has come up between us. Ever since then, I have made extra sure to not broach politics around her, because I'm pretty sure her views are extraordinarily stupid and if I hear anymore I will respect her a lot less. I kind of laughed it off at the time, but I'm pretty sure she was being serious. Her and her husband are both Church going folk and the husband is a cop, so I'm pretty sure I know where they lie on the political spectrum. Imo ifyou're willing to believe there's an invisible man in the sky that's going to solve all your problems, I guess all these conspiracy theories are easier to believe.

I was thinking “wtf are you doing giving them the mental space to be complete psychopaths” and then “the husband is a cop”… so yeah, maybe don’t show your hand to those chucklefucks. Slowly backing away is the safer choice.
