I hear what expr is saying though - several Democratic-voting people I know actually thought it was real in the initial scrum of the meme. That part I’m not so big on. Everyone going wink-wink-nudge dude fucked a couch is fine.
What difference does it make if they think it's real? I don't see how that makes a difference in the grand scheme of things. People believe much sillier things that aren't true all the time.
I’d prefer my own political party to believe truthful things. Despite the wild success the reverse has shown in other parties.
Call it a quirk.
Well, put your mind at ease. The Democratic Party doesn’t think jd Vance fucked a couch.
Which members? Because 100% for sure some of them believe it. When I heard it “was in the first edition of the book” part I was sorely tempted myself.
It’s a trifle. Not important, and barely a whisper of a shadow of the simplest lie the republiQans tell on an hourly basis. But for the record, there absolutely are Democrats voting for Kamala that believe it to be true. That’s just how media works. Especially when it’s so plausible.
