Well I'm surrounded by religious magas so, yes.
"Earth is 2000 years old. Gay is wrong and unnatural. Dinosaurs didnt exist. Democrats want to turn the US into Russia. Trump should take over Canada"
All actual things said by real life people to me.
Its baffling how stupid most Americans are.
There's a difference between intelligence and poor upbringing though. 500 years ago even the smartest person alive probably believed the first three of them, because anyone who said otherwise was crazy, and all the authority figures were saying it was objective fact. If you raise someone today from childhood, cut off from a lot of external influence, then regardless of how smart they are they'll probably still lean towards believing them. Brains are weird, and the ability to process information, solve problems, remember things, and question things don't necessarily correlate as well as you'd expect.
democrats want to turn the us into russia??? the us has never been more like the ussr was portrayed in the 80's
Lol thats the funniest part. They obsess over Putin's lapdog like he's Jesus yet he's a literal Russian asset.
