How the lies are spread, none come true and some people will still buy this crap. It makes me wonder if they really believe it; they just want to believe and go along for the sake of wanting to believe; I wonder if they don't believe it and just go with the flow; or, I wonder, if they are just bad people and using this kind of crap to distract from their real agenda...

Contrarians will offer you a contrary position that they can back with actual reason.

They are actually stubborn mules who have had their mental abilities impaired by hauling gaseous shit for the ignorant.

that I raced like crazy to be there because I wanted to get there ahead of the caravan. This said none too quietly so the Republican side would hear as well. It did get a laugh.

I had never heard of the New Black Panthers, but my mom was whipped into a frenzy about them, after all the hate/scare TV and radio she's immersed in during every waking moment. And she was terrified to fly when a handful of people in the country had Ebola, but at 90, was perfectly fine with the idea of flying across country (with a change of planes!) for pandemic Thanksgiving to visit my COVID-ignoring MAGAt sister. (Thankfully, she got a serious nosebleed on the morning she was supposed to leave, and then delayed that trip until after she was vaccinated.)

Critical Race Theory is just another manufactured swim in the fever swamp for those who've been brainwashed out of whatever critical thinking skills they may have once possessed.

Peddling fear is all they have to drive people to the polls.
Soon, a great percentage of the base will be in assisted living. Watch them change their views on mail in voting.
