Isn't it interesting how the MAGA mind can be so easily molded and remolded?...

A month ago, every single bad thing that happened in the world was Joe Biden's fault.

This month, every single bad thing that happened in the world is Kamala Harris's fault.

We need a better educated populace. One that can tell the difference between reality and BS.

You left out the part where Biden says there is no daylight between them on policy.

Agree with you there. Too many have been told and believe that the border is secure, Bidenomics is working, the crime rate is down, and Trump will end our democracy.

I think 1984 should be required reading in high school.

I had to read it on my own. The lit teacher made me as part of the high-track students read Catcher in the Rye. I would rather have read 1984. Much more interesting.

Too many have been told and believe that the border is secure,...

Perhaps. But most Dems don't think that. I don't know anyone who thinks that. The difference is what action to take, and making sure it is legal (i.e. change the law where needed).

...Bidenomics is working,...

It is. Inflation is at its lowest point since Biden took office, unemployment is way down, and the Fed may lower interest rates as a result.

...the crime rate is down,...

It is. Crime statistics are readily available.

...Trump will end our democracy.

He tried once already. The SCOTUS decisions of late give him some more tools to try again, if we let him. I see no reason to believe his attitude has changed, so it is safe to assume he will try again if given the chance.

MAGA Bot: "Too many have been told and believe that the border is secure."

Nobody believes that, but most folks realize who's at fault for the current border situation...

Fear mongering insurrectionist Donald Trump killed the bipartisan bill that would have addressed the border problem...
He said, "The Senate is better off not making a deal, even if it means the country will close up for a while."

Life long Republican Mitt Romney summed up the situation nicely...
"The border is a very important issue for Donald Trump, and the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that
he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Joe Biden (Kamala Harris) for it is really appalling."

Really appalling. If you don't like what's happening at the border, it's Trumps fault.

BTW The bill was fully endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Wall Street Journal and supported by 66% of Americans.

Do the MAGA Bots ever tire of people taking advantage of their gullibility? Not an actual question, I already know the answer...

Don’t forget a healthy dose of sane economics.
