The MAGA faithful have to claim that others are "scared" of their "ideas" rather than the reality which is "nah, dude, everyone thinks you and your friends are dipshits, and we don't want to hang around the places you go, because you made them icky and stupid."

Thought I'd seen the dumbest, most ignorant take on Bluesky last year, but I was wrong. This person is living in a world that only exists in their own mind.

As far as I can tell, the author is not even on Bluesky, so they've just fantasized what must be happening here.

Car conversation:

Kid: I just saw a photon.

Me: A what?

Kid: A photon.

Me: What? A photon? How?

Kid: On top of a car.

Me: I do not understand. How did you see a photon?

Kid: Strapped to the top of the car.

Me: [Pause] Do you mean... a futon?

Kid: Yeah. Futon. Photon. Same thing.
