I was talking to a Trump supporter, and his delusion is GREAT, despite being an otherwise smart guy. He was talking about Hunter Biden being a felon and- "Wait, what? Hunter Biden is a felon? When did that happen?"

Him: Oh, he has multiple felonies.

Me: That would be news to me. Probably news to him as well. Show where and when, particularly the "multiple" part, he was convicted of any felonies.

Him: Oh, it's true, here, let me show you.

Proceeds to bring up right wing news sites that talk about the laptop, cocaine use, etc. But no felonies. Not even one.

Me: What did we learn today, C? That you need better news sources and you should probably not spread lies about people, right.

Him: mumble mumble

We have similar discussions like this almost every week, like the time he claimed that it was antifa and BLM who actually attacked the Capital on Jan 6th.
