This very smart thread thoroughly explains how some people can slide so deep into conspiracy theory land they essentially become cultists. https://twitter.com/Nick_Carmody/status/1304772282284343302
The thing about the conspiracy theory that's such a weird part of politics now is I could almost swear it was designed by someone who really knows crowd psychology. Adherents get to claim all they care about is the welfare of kids, maintaining a facade of moral righteousness.
These are the same kind of folks who by thoroughly demonizing the boogeyman "Antifa" manage to make being ANTI-FASCIST bad. I am not aware of a single reporter who has bothered to ask any righty morons if they know what "antifa" is short for.
