    He could also do something that he actually has the authority to do, like, I dunno, release the Epstein files.

        I wish that were true. I just had a MAGA moron today explaining how that’s just “liberal propaganda.” and how “if you get your facts from the internet, they’re always going to be wrong.”

        he was also saying that Chicago was the most violent city in the country, even though IL had the most restrictive gun laws (no. that’s Birmingham, 'bama,)

        We started with gun rights because of the shooting he found out I train security in use of force and launched into as if that meant I was on his side, but at one point I called him out for caring more about protecting pedophiles and enabling mass shooters than protecting kids.

        Yeah. maybe don’t talk politics at a family thing; because frankly I’m tired of “keeping the peace” with these assholes.

          if you get your facts from the internet, they’re always going to be wrong.

          I’m going to guess he doesn’t consider Facebook memes and truth social posts as internet?

            I think he gets his talking points from OAN or whatever.

            He got particularly stupid when I explained that I pull data from the internet- specifically FBI crime statistics- from the gov’s own database.

            He also didn’t believe you can road trip to another state.

            It was an amazing display of ignorance and arrogance.

              That broke me. I don’t know how you even respond to that.

                “You’re saying you can’t go to Arizona and buy a firearm? what’s the matter get lost in the Dakotas?”

                (to be fair it’s not difficult to get lost in the Dakotas. there’s really not a lot around out there.)
