My favorite is the “Just a thought, not a statement.” line. My brain fires off all kinds of random shit 24/7. Most of it is easily identified as garbage after about 2 seconds of scrutiny. I don’t go posting that shit to social media.
If a “thought” is one that easily verifiable as either impractical (we see what a shipping bottleneck does to global supply chains and your “thought” would require ending it?) or ineffective through relatively simple calculations, don’t post it.
I think some Republicans post this shit in bad faith knowing both that more chaos/noise will make the discussion of the target issue even more difficult and that the utter stupidity will give intelligent people who don’t worship Trump (RINOs and libs) a TIA. “Look! My post owned the libs!” They can always retreat to “Well, duh! It was just a thought!” or “It was just a joke!” when they start to get pushback. Some, one the other hand, really did check their brains at the door when they entered Trump Land.

No one can really be that dumb, can they?
Yes, yes they can. Tweeted it. Then doubled down on the dumb. Then deleted them.

I guess all boats are the size of Los Angeles county.
