If I point out their error and tell them they can easily fact check their opinions, they tell me that
the fact check sites on the internet are fake news and false info. I gave up. I figured time would
reveal the truth to them, but even if tfg and his cronies are indicted, it would only prove to them
that Nancy and Chuck and Joe are all crooked and enemies of freedom.
