It’s not even that they’re being misled by kooks and grifters, although they are. Odds are, you have someone in your life that should know better mindlessly parroting some bit of empty drivel that originated in the Trump lie machine. There are people dying in COVID wards right now who swear they don’t have the disease because it’s a hoax. I’ve watched medical professionals follow his lead in not adhering to COVID protocols, and nurses in NICUs swear that the Democrats are aborting heathy third-term fetuses despite their own lived experience in the field to the contrary. That’s been a trademark since he rose to power. No matter how silly things get, and we have people claiming that voting machines in Georgia were hacked by the ghost of Hugo Chavez at this point, it doesn’t seem to make a dent in Trump’s support. What is certain is that nothing seems to penetrate this wall of bullshit. Does he actually believe that Texas can sue other states to not have their votes counted, or is our indicted top cop merely trying to get Trump’s attention for a pardon before the fruits of the federal investigation into him come ripe? Who knows? It’s even reached up to our own Attorney General Ken Paxton. As Donald Trump’s electoral loss becomes more and more officially certain, the conspiracy theories get louder.
The last several weeks have been a wave of easily disproven nonsense that outclasses everything we have endured even in the last four years.
