I mean, it’s kinda funny. But it’s obviously edited right? The vast majority of Americans won’t be confused or tricked into thinking this actually happened. Well, you and I think way much of our fellow Americans than the people melting down over it:

This is pathetic. It’s an over-sensitivity to what they think turned the other election, which is fake news. But here’s the deal – people who want to swallow and regurgitate lies and conspiracy theories and other BS don’t give a damn if you try to show them the truth. They WANT to believe crap. And they will seek it out and find it no matter how much you try to keep them from it…
