I have an acquaintance, well sort of family member, he's married to a cousin of mine. [View all]

But even in coal country that isn't really family.

Any way he was a decent guy when we met. He was an electrician working for a county in northwest Georgia.

I saw him go from being a Paul Harvey conservative to Rush Limbough ditto head and Fox News fan, all the way down the rabbit hole to fucking MAGA status.

We rarely speak, but when we do, he'll often repeat an old Paul Harvey saw. You've probably heard it - The stupid shit about "The best trick Satan ever played was convincing liberals he doesn't exist."

Well, it's cookout day tomorrow, and I am ready with a reply. One that you're all free to use tomorrow, or any day you'd like.

"The greatest trick Satan ever played was to convince Republicans that Jesus hates the same people they do."
