In a stunning turn of events at the Miller family BBQ last weekend, two uncles engaged in an hour-long debate about politics, only to discover that both of their opinions were, in fact, entirely wrong. Despite standing on opposite ends of the political spectrum, neither side managed to land a single correct argument, leaving the rest of the family baffled, but strangely united in their confusion.
Bill M., a proud armchair conservative who hasn’t missed a Fox News broadcast since 2003, went toe-to-toe with Rick L., a self-described “Facebook liberal warrior” who considers any fact-check that opposes his beliefs a government conspiracy.
“Bill thinks we need to cut more taxes for the rich because it’ll trickle down eventually. Meanwhile, Rick’s out here saying free healthcare should cover everything, including his bad choices,” said an exhausted cousin who witnessed the whole thing. “It was like watching two sports teams play against each other, but neither knew the rules.”
Neither Fact Stands a Chance
The argument began with Bill’s confident statement that “America’s founding fathers definitely meant for us to have machine guns” and spiraled when Rick countered with his theory that “socialism worked great in the Soviet Union, if you ignore the starvation.”
“I don’t know how they did it, but both of them managed to be wrong in ways I didn’t even think were possible,” said Bill’s wife, Karen M. “Bill said something about the moon landing being a hoax, and Rick somehow agreed but for completely different reasons. I felt like I was in a parallel universe.”
“They were on opposite sides, and yet, neither of them knew what the hell they were talking about,” one family member remarked. “It’s like if two blindfolded people had a sword fight in the dark—they’re both missing the point and each other.”
Family Left in Shambles…and Laughter
After the heated exchange, both uncles took a breather to rest their vocal cords and load up on more potato salad. Meanwhile, other family members huddled together in disbelief at what had just occurred. “I guess the only thing they can agree on is being completely and absolutely wrong,” said a bystander while shaking their head.
In an unexpected twist, the nonsensical bickering actually brought the rest of the family closer together, sparking a sense of camaraderie as they realized they all shared one universal truth: the uncles were hopeless. By the time dessert was served, laughter filled the air as cousins and aunts shared stories of other times when Bill and Rick were equally as misinformed.
As for the two uncles, they’ve already scheduled another debate for next Thanksgiving, where they’ll undoubtedly argue once again—because why admit you’re wrong when you can double down on bad opinions?
