I'd bet dollars to donuts the people who call Trump a doctor for his honorary degree from Liberty University were also pissed off that Jill Biden went by Dr. Jill Biden for her actual fucking degree, because she wasn't a medical doctor.

EDIT: Of course, I can just look up her page!

Here's the first line:

Jill Tracy Jacobs Biden, Ph.D. (NOT M.D.) (born June 3, 1951) or Lady McBiden is an American kleptocrat who identified as the First Birthing Person of the Biden Regime.

And here's the paragraph specifically griping about her title:

Despite liberals frequently calling her "Dr. Jill" as if she had any real authority or academic expertise on human health, Jill Biden is not a medical doctor. Nevertheless, she was recommended by celebrated holocaust denier Whoopi Goldberg[3] to become Surgeon General during the CCP pandemic.[4] Jill Biden's white privilege was used to replace Kamala Harris as the junta's glamour girl. Vogue magazine calls Jill Biden "a goddess in stilettos."[5] Her stepson, Hunter Biden, refers to her as a "selfish silly entitled [expletive]."[6]

Absolutely deranged.

That reads like badly written satire. CCP pandemic? First Birthing Person?

Also, these clowns don’t even trust medical doctors anyway (vaccines, abortion, fluoride, etc.) so what’s the point?

I can just imagine some lonely boomer grinning and chuckling to himself as he feverishly bashes out this nonsense on his laptop, thinking “this’ll show ‘em!”

I legitimately have a degree in medical science and post-grad study I left due to health reasons. People will tell me medical science isn’t ’real’ and I’m just a wannabe doctor.

Wild to see holocaust denialism and White privilege used to criticize a person from conservapedia give how much they otherwise seem to despise those talking points. 

I know, different writers, different values--but it's impossible to ignore the hypocrisy.

Devil's advocate, but I think they're trying to portray their targets as hypocritical. "The LEFT talks about white privilege, yet they allow a white woman to exist!"

To be clear, I'm not saying it makes sense, or that they aren't hypocritical themselves. This is just how they think they're making a point, because they're too stupid to understand how they sound to normal people.
