    And if you believe that shit I feel very, very sorry for you.
    This president will go down in history as one of the better presidents we've ever had and the people who have been chanting the N word at him for eight years are going to be recorded as the troglodytes they really are.

    The historical nadir judgement of Obama asserted by this image is refuted by the Gallup Poll approval ratings for the past dozen US presidents: United States presidential approval rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Futhermore, the graphic's final statement attacks the president based on the color of his skin with the unfounded assertion that he was elected merely because he's black and thus commits the very injustice that it purports to oppose with quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    Could you please explain this one for me? Who's Damien?

    Damien is the kid from the movie "The Omen"
    He's the son of Satan or the Antichrist who's adopted into a politician's family.
    He's a dark grim boy who never smiles.
    Bad things happpen around him.

    I was thinking Trump's youngest looked like the character in that pic...and inferred he's influencing events including his father's uncanny rise.
    But, I'm not going to put it out there on the general web.
    Unlike Trump, I don't push false rumors (like he did to Cruz)

    Ah, ok. Thanks for making it clearer.
    In addition to slightly more mainstream fringe views (birtherism and JFK conspiracy theories), it seems that Trump even spreads more obscure internet pseudohistory memes, as Solitary Man does. Donald Trump cites dubious legend about Gen. Pershing, pig's blood and Muslims | PolitiFact

    The most harmful thing about this is that Trump is promoting the belief that hate and violence can solve problems, if the hate and violence are strong enough. But his evidence for this is fabricated. Hate and violence inevitably provoke more hate and violence, right back at you.

    Adopted? I thought that there was a baby switch....or was that done so that the couple adopted the antichrist?

    Per wiki...I remember the pictures and the premise more so then the complete details of the older movie...it's been some time...and I haven't seen the new one/reboot.

    Can't argue with this one for even a minute.

    Of course they have found that people with classically conservative beliefs tend to have lower IQs.

    So by the logic of your post large groups of conservatives would be very dangerous.

    Heedlessly reposting this misattributed quotation makes you just as guilty of groupthink as the "stupid people" it derides.

    Wow, it sounds so much like something he would say that I didn't look it up like I normally would.
    See what I mean, if you don't check these things you will get caught out.
    Especially if it's one you agree with.
    I hang my head in shame.

    OK, here's my analysis:
    • Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have both endorsed Hillary Clinton
    • The Bushes have declined to make any endorsements this cycle despite endorsing the Republican nominee in each of the last few elections
    • Carter hasn't made an endorsement so far but previously indicated that he would support the Democratic nominee
    The facts check out for this one.

    Convoluted thought experiment is a waste of time.
    Democratic governments are extensions of the peoples will, thus they are you, thus they are acting like you.
