    Is it racist? I have no idea why they keep calling Michelle Obama a man. I know most saying it don’t believe it, but I also know some of them are stupid enough to genuinely think it’s true as well.

    Also, Trump is an absolute coward. Every time he stands up for himself he sounds like a petulant child.

      Around 15 years ago, it was a (poor taste) joke in Democratic circles that Ann Coulter was a trans woman, because of her prominent Adam’s apple, and wouldn’t it be comical because of her anti-queer rhetoric? The Tea Party/MAGA crazies tend to borrow the taunts used against them, because they lack the creativity to come up with them on their own. They also lack the abstract thinking skills to recognize or appreciate the joke, so they turn it into a conspiracy theory, and many actually believe it.
