I asked him “what color were the clouds back then?” and he said they were white. I asked him what happens if I take an orange light and light up something that’s white with it. He ignored me. He went on about how everyone in his age group remembers the Sun being orange, and by me questioning him, I’m calling him and all his peers liars and I’m stupid because I’m younger than him and vaccinated.

    Your friend has fallen down a far-right conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Sorry for your loss.

        Down votes are funny here. You are 100% correct, Idiots exist on all polical compass points.

          That’s like saying heat exists everywhere in the solar system. Yes, it’s true, but it paints a mildly inaccurate picture.

            Not sure where the inaccuracy is. I lean left politically but I see just as many idiots on this side as the other side. Think about raw milk, vaccines, etc. The whack jobs were more on the left than right though there were both.
