      They’re mimicking someone who’s trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says ‘wordbook’

      It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it’s viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They’re not. They’re just insane.

          Those ones are among the worst category. Needlessly deluded by bad actors acting badly, to the extent there’s nothing we can do to change it.

          They have to choose to notice they’re being lied to.
