2024 Election Specials: 3. Reform.

To be clear. If you vote Reform you are stupid. Yes I mean thick. Dense. Twp. You are gullible, malleable and easily manipulated. You regurgitate tabloid headlines and use terms you don’t understand. You want simple answers to complex problems. You find change overwhelming.
