In reply to the discussion: Was this photo of Feinstein with a gun photoshopped? [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)47. There's more to it than that--there's complete One-Issue Blindness at play.
What are they thinking? That people who have voted for DiFi for decades, now, will suddenly look at a decade and a half old picture of her holding a tommy gun in an Edward G. Robinson double breasted, pin-striped suit, and say "Ewwww, noooooooo---this WILL NOT STAAAAAAAAAND!!!!! Never mind that she's brought jobs and cash to the state--she's holding that tommy gun WROOOOONG!!!!!!!!! Ewwww, the huge manatee!"
People are .... funny! They don't understand that most people -- and that includes anyone that would vote for DiFi, anyway--could give a shit!

Expertise isn't necessary, a lack of demonstrable idiocy and/or ignorance will do
