By November, Trump will have taken credit for every Biden accomplishment and millions of voters will believe it because they have the memories of goldfish.

That's what happens when you have two brain cells fighting for third place and get your information from fox "news".

Hey don't insult goldfish by comparing them to conservatives; goldfish actually have good memories

I knew that from reading it somewhere years ago. (Maybe a Straight Dope book?) But I couldn't think of a better metaphor people would understand.

May flies. Those fuckers only live 6 days, I cannot imagine that evolution would select for memory retention with that short of a life span.

Not memories of goldfish, it's just malice.
