December 18, 20204 yr Saw this on Reddit. These people are completely insane. These are the guys writing all the tweets Ky! keeps posting.
December 19, 20204 yr Russia attacks America with the largest hack of the Government in U.S. History and Trump is silent.
December 28, 20204 yr Local mentally ill guy joins a local area FB group to share his conspiracy about the bombing. Went to his page, it's all about conspiracies like 5G causing COVID-19, and of course Bill Gates wanting to track people with microchips. And China.

December 30, 20204 yr 1 hour ago, mr_hunt said: were they always this crazy but we didn't really notice? or did trump bring out the crazy in these folks? when a political leader indulge people's delusions about perceived grievances, you validate them to the point where they become beholden to that particular leader, because that leader has projected a preferred version of reality where they can transfer their failures to externalities like "globalism" and "liberals". if that leader is threatened, even through a free and fair democratic process, the cognitive dissonance forces a follower to choose between the alternate (fake) reality that the leader has constructed where now he is the aggrieved party or face the reality that perhaps their preferred "alternative facts" are, in fact, BS. so for many, it means constructing a narrative where dear leader couldn't possible have failed - it's the system that's rigged against him! worse, this is where the "ends justifies the means" behavior comes into play, which is why you see the right engaging in electoral fraud - the exact sort of thing they are claiming the left has engaged in. classic projection. when your personal identity becomes so intertwined with a political cult of personality, any threat to the leader is a personal threat to you and your identity. the ingroup is all that can be trusted, and any member of an outgroup is a threat to be eliminated. this psychology is, quite literally, how authoritarian regimes and dictatorships grab and maintain power.
December 30, 20204 yr Conspiracy about 5G towers were big in the UK earlier this year, and people in other countries believe conspiracies about COVID, have issues with the lockdowns, have xenophobia about immigration and other such things. In America, you can blame Trump and the right wing, but that doesn't explain when it happens elsewhere. The mindset is bigger than one country. Last April, 5G conspiracy theorists attacked Telecom towers in the UK.

But when the president is validating whackos, it moves the issue from being one on the margins to being more mainstream.
