    I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.

    5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan

    One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.

    I am surrounded by morons.

      I was talking to a guy and he said “who was that politician that used to wear a bunch of makeup?”.

      “I’m not sure” I said

      “The one with the eyeliner”

      “Oh you mean J.d Vance? The vice president?”

      “He’s the vice president?”

      Physically had to stop myself from facepalming.

      Right after he started talking about Greta Thunberg. He said “people that don’t know anything about politics shouldn’t get involved”.

      I wish I could make this stuff up.
