New yard sign I just saw, "Biden is a Marxist".

I'd like to put up one that says "Biden is an Adam Smith Capitalist".
I would love to have a conversation with those that put up those signs.

The funny thing is that they are too stupid to realize just how stupid that makes them look.

It is a frustrating exercise.

I was at a friend's house the other day, he is one of those, and he always wants to talk politics..."The Durham Report", "Hillary lied for 11 hours", etc. so after a while I just said "I have to go", then he changed the topic but by then I was pissed enough that I just, very politely, as if nothing had happened, left.

It is not worth it, trump was right about shooting someone in daylight in the middle of 5th Avenue, they will find an excuse for the murderer or blame it on Hillary.

How about "Marx is an Adam Smith Capitalist"?

Makes a lot more sense than "Biden is a Marxist" since Marx has been often referring to Adam Smith in his writings.

On edit: on second thought, since they have no clue WTF they are talking about, the right wingers are not going to get the irony.

"Delaware is home to the credit card businesses of Chase, Discover and Barclaycard U.S., according to
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Bank of America and Citi also maintain certain card operations there.
Together, those issuers represent about half of the U.S. credit card market."

But on second thought--it would probably come as a great surprise to 90% of Republicans to learn that Trump is NOT a Rhodes scholar. Of course, to keep this all in perspective, it would probably also come as a shock to 90% of Republicans to learn that the moon is not made of green cheese.
