WE have the cognitive acuity to "get it."

Okay.

BUT, half the people DON'T get it. This "dilemma" between vampire or werewolf is a genuine mental challenge for them.

Put another way, he is "speaking their language.

We can ridicule, laugh, and feel amused. However, I would suggest that the peculiar appeal of such messaging is what we should be focusing on, e.g., how do we effectively counter the appeal of the absurd?

confesses to having waited in line to vote for an a hour,
and then was unable to vote for the Republican nominee for U.S. Senator in his state---


I guess that candidate was somewhat 'weak'.




LMAO


I wish this runoff could run for until the 2024 election, so H could continue to spout his bouts of "wisdom" and have his sayings reported until that time--- this is better than 'Saturday Night Live' !!!!!!

Was the worst senatorial candidate in US History. I would invite LGOV to scroll down other senatorial candidates of his party in all states. Walker would probably make the top five because gop candidates in damn near any election are the worst. So Herschel has a lot of competition for that trophy.

It's great how he takes his time, waits for the audience reaction, pauses... then delivers the line perfectly. The best.
