Soon Snowflakes and Liberals will remember Hillary’s 2017 inauguration.
...Study: Half of people “remember” events that never happened...
Sounds like fringe lunatic liberals...it’s a mental disorder.
...like a failed politician...
Like remembering Hillary won??
Yup!...Great example!...I believed that today too!....but....I’m gonna be the stick in the mud here.....so I got to tell you....I do a reunion with all my old Viet Nam unit buddies and the one thing we all figured out was....Even though were were all in the same skirmishes....we ALL see it a little differently.....I do believe in the âFog of Warâ theory to an extent.....It’s all about what you experienced from YOUR perspective....
Or report events that never happened:
It’s called “Brian Williams Syndrome”.
They probably saw reports of those events on the News and believed it.
