I can't even.

This is a friend of mine's response after I posted a link to President Biden's accomplishments. She's smart yet delusional. I don't have the energy to argue.

Edit to add: "friend"... she was my neighbor in the early 80s but I haven't seen her since. So not close.

************ total BS. He didn't do any of those things with the populace in mind. He did it to push a socialist agenda and to get a large portion of the population dependant on the government. 1. He shut down the keystone pipeline WITHOUT a back up plan. We were fuel independent now we are dependent on China and Russia. Meanwhile he approves a pipeline being built by Russia in Europe. 2. Rejoined the Paris Accord - why? If the rules were the same for all countries it might have been beneficial. But the biggest powers - China and Russia don't have to play by the same rules. 3. He has made it profitable to stay unemployed and getting government checks. The beginning of socialism. 4. Small businesses are closing left and right not staying open. Those that are open cannot get workers. We have jobs starting at $15 an hour for unskilled workers. 5. He DIDN'T get schools to reopen in democratic states - the teacher's union had him by the gonads because of the political support they gave him. I have 2 educators in my family (my daughters) and both were in class last fall teaching and educating kids. We had online and in person education in Texas. 6. He is given credit for vaccines BUT he thought Trump was crazy and wouldn't be able to produce in under 5 years. Then he followed the distribution plan. 7. He's given vaccines to half the population - it might be higher if he and VP had been behind it fully from the beginning. Surely you remember Harris saying if Trump says it's safe I'm not taking it. Bet most don't remember her saying anything about the science. 8. There could be a much longer list but why bother. In closing - in case you don't think everything that Biden does is socialist and politically motivated - Why is travel between Europe and the US closed? Biden claims it is because of covid. If this is the case, why is the southern border wide open? Do you realize that the countries entering have VERY low vaccination rates? Do you realize that on Monday alone almost 700 positive covid cases were released to a Catholic Charities organization, put up in a hotel for quarrantine, were unsupervised and were in the town, restaurants, shopping etc coming into contact with local citizenry and likely infecting them? Do you realize that 70 border patrol agents have tested positive in one town alone putting other border patrol agents, their families and their communities at risk? Do you realize how dangerous leaving our borders open is? Forget about the good families that are breaking the law from jump for just a minute. What about the gang members, drug traffickers, sex traffickers, gun runners and in general just plain bad actors entering the Country? Doesn't that just give you a warm fuzzy? Sorry hon, this administration, is going to be the ruination of this Country. Oh and I almost forgot - why can't the Cubans migrate? They are truly oppressed. Is it because half the democratic party thinks the Cuban regime is the one to follow? Not my words check out AOC, Omar, Talib etc on the Cuban government. Or more heinous, because these migrants have lived under socialist/communism and would not vote for any socialist programs in this Country.

1. Just tell her if you wanted to listen to Fox News on a loop you would just turn on your tv.

[NewHendoLib]

2. even smart people get hoodwinked into a cult. don't waste your time on them.

[Hoyt]

3. Yeah, not much way to respond to that. Know folks like that. Hope they wise up.

[lpbk2713]

4. I won't say anything unkind about your friend ...

But you're right. She's delusional at the very least.

[Hamlette]

5. these people have lost the ability to reason

I had a facebook friend I tried to reason with for the better part of a year. She could not reason through an issue.

We don't "talk" anymore.

[QED]

6. Similar thing happened today....

My sister started in on a "flood of people with COVID coming over the border". I told her it wasn't true, she insisted. I told her to stop watching Fox. She hung up. And that's it. I'm done with the stupid.

[secondwind]

7. We've turned away 600,000, she's delusional.

We are only letting in unaccompanied minors. Sheesh.

Tell her we have socialism here already, for decades. Good socialism like public libraries and public schools, buses, Amtrak, airports, Medicare, THE MILITARY etc. The list is endless.

Tell her to READ AND EDUCATE HERSELF

[babylonsister]

8. Ironically, she was in the military and

her husband was a retired marine. Yea, there's no reasoning with this mindset.

[hlthe2b]

9. So, did you decide to respond to her?

[babylonsister]

11. I'm still thinking about it.

I plan on finding concrete proof, re: immigration, that she's full of crap. Startling to me is she's Cuban, 2nd generation. I would have thought she'd have more compassion, but nooooo! Also, her husband was military police while in the Marines, but she mentions nothing about 1/6.

Her original OP was a pic of mf45 looking at the Statue of Liberty from a plane, with this:
I remember a man who said, "We need to close our borders."
I remember a man who said, "We need to bring our businesses home."
I remember a man who said, "We need to become less dependent on other countries to survive."
I remember a man who said, "We need to take care of America first!!!"



I told her I remember a man who said, 'grab them by the pussy'...

Didn't seem to faze her.

10. Saying a person who believes and regurgitates this crap is "smart" is like saying

except for their racism, someone is really a sweet person.

I just don't think anyone who is this gullible is a smart person, even if they demonstrate lots of knowledge in other areas, any more than a racist is a lovely person as long as we don't take into account the despicable parts of their character. In my view, intelligence is a holistic thing and being this stupid about such a major aspect of the world and the people in it lowers a person's entire score for me ... This woman does not strike me as smart at all.

[babylonsister]

13. OK, point taken.

She seemed smart in the 80s. Who knows what influenced her downfall?

Your comparison to racism hit home; I see a lot of that in her even though she hides from it.

[haele]

12. Right off the script.

Though a bit outdated, that was the GQP script two months ago.
A lot of it was recycled from both 2016 and 2020.
