That implies that she's been filtering out everything you've told her about that Bozo for five years.
It also means she trusts Dinesh D'Souza, whom she doesn't know, more than she does you. Hope that doesn't cut too close .... but I remark on it as something that seems to be "going around" a lot, as people who've ignored Rush, Hannity, Savage -- hell, ignored anyone with a brain -- finally begin to hear the penny drop when they can see the argument organized on a silver screen.

Dinesh did the job the MSM could have done, but didn’t.

IMO this is a very important pair of comments.
The power of a movie is astounding. It is also astounding that we can calmly and rationally lay out facts to friends and family, who love and respect us, and it does not get through to them. (I could understand not getting through if we were angry, or all wound up and overly emotional, or not presenting things clearly or logically.)
What is it that makes the movie so persuasive and makes us so unpersuasive? How can we harness some of that persuasiveness? We can’t afford to make a movie about every little thing!
(Similar thing happened to me long ago. Discussion with spouse about layout of landscaping. Not heated or angry at all, but just unable to convince spouse of a few things. Hired a professional landscaper. Landscaper agreed with me. Immediately spouse willing to go along with me and landscaper. Landscaper had very little education or training, but he was getting paid for it, therefore he was a “professional” and so was more credible than I was.)
