“Tricked” implies that he cares if it’s true or not.
He’s not being tricked any more than Rupert Murdock is tricked by the stories his company promotes.
I guess that’s fair, yeah

I’ve gotten together with all the Gen X’ers, and it’s been agreed that we should just consider him a boomer.
Oh God you just made me realize that he’s not a boomer and a gen x like me. Flying spaghetti monster help our generation.
