Lauren Boebert says monkeypox is a conspiracy to mess up midterm elections

I know people like to point to her and say that the rural folk, for whom the most foreign thing they ever saw was a Chalupa Supreme, will believe it. But they’re sadly far from alone.

Half of my family is first or second generation Mexican. They go to Mexico multiple times a year. Even so, several of them have said that Biden/Democrats are responsible for whatever’s happening, despite them being able to see it was happening (for inflation, FAR worse) back home.

The sheer amount of screeching lies makes some people just assume it must be true, since it isn’t blocked or stopped.
