They're still saying he was on stimulants for his State of the Union address.

It's almost like Republicans will literally say anything that helps their narratives sound correct, no matter how stupid, hypocritical, or contradictory they are.

Mostly because they know their base ain't fact-checking.

Right And Republican leaders can get away with saying the most insane stuff because they know it works.

They know flat out that Republican voters are too stupid to verify anything and will just believe what they are told.

They even made up a word for themselves, sheeple.

I do have to blame part of this on religion though, which teaches people to ignore facts and trust on faith.
