“Hypocrisy is a requirement for the magician cult, have the shopping list you voted for, cupcake!” wrote an anonymous user.
People can’t help but point out a particular part of his message that seems to be aimed at other conservatives:
“I love how she’s so sure conservatives will pretend the prices are low that she really needs to say ‘let’s not fool around’. Don’t ever let them fool you into thinking they don’t know they’re full of shit,” one redditor responded.
