He's gonna tie every biden policy to Hillary Clinton and attack her based on that.

Then hopefully someone will remind him that he's running against Kamala Harris and not Clinton.

More likely they will just make up a connection with Hillary and Kamala. Like they are in the same coven and drink adrenochrome together.

Why did my keyboard know autocorrect the spelling of that word?

Wild huh? Hunter Thompson wrote about it once, and then it was in the movie version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Got warped around to what it is now.

There is a large chunk of the US population that believes this shit or things adjacent to it. 30% or so, I think. I've lost many people to it.

Check out Qanon Qausilties on Reddit. It's a cult, that's a mental illness, that's a political movement. Useful for the fascists. Very dangerous. Very sad.

It's a real substance the body makes, but it can also be synthesized. As such, people have taken it to try it out. Iirc it isn't even a fun high, so they started making up that children make "better" versions or something.

It's just blood libel with the label scrapped off. Until you dig deeper into right wing conspiracies, then it's just regular blood libel.
