that we are now living in the real world Idiocracy. Where we were once great nation represented by world class statesmen who did not suffer fools gladly:

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." - Abraham Lincoln

Now we are reduced to explaining to belligerent idiots that their pet conspiracy theories are not real.

'Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!" George W. Bush
