    “Only the experts governments should have the opinions!” sounds like a typical thing to say by every right-wing asshole when it doesn’t go their way, even as they cheer other imbeciles like Curt Schilling, Scott Baio, Ted Nugent, James Woods, Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson, etc, whenever they spout any batshit, willfully ignorant opinion that just happens to be exactly want the red meat crowd wants to hear.

        Don’t even bother pointing it out to them, it’s a trap, a useless expenditure of energy wherever reality is elastic to the point of nonsensical, futile like shoveling water in a lake to make a hole and a mound.
        You could present a thousand “gotcha!” moments and not a single one would make any difference.
