“Bat Boy,”a character, 1992-2007, in the “Weekly World News”was as real as any of the stories in that paper, or any other tabloids, meaning not at all. We made fun of those papers. Bat Boy was a symbol. No one, we thought, could take seriously such a break from reality. 1/4
We were wrong. People who believed in Bat Boy now believe COVID was a hoax, but one cured by trump, with vaccines he developed (in Operation Warp Speed), but which Antifa/Deep State use implant “chips” in the innocent. MAGA people use lies they’re told are facts. 2/4
A person fumed he had a video of “vote theft” in Wisconsin. There is no such video. There was no vote theft. Discussions of small groups of people are how we and our friends and neighbors decide great issues each day. That’s how some people decide how to vote. 3/4
To shred MAGA lies is tiresome, but necessary. 38% of people will believe Bat Boy exists, but people who are undecided, one hopes, will listen to the patient and polite use of facts and reason. With MAGA people it’s futile to be patient or polite. Maybe we can hire Bat Boy. 4/4
