I'm just sad there are enough freaks in this country to elect a lazy, race baiting criminal like sHitler. How do people lose their tiny minds so fully that they look at a puke who bends over for Putin and rips off- everyone- and say, "Ooooh, what a many orange POS- I want THAT for my president!" This country. I'm glad 8 in ten don't want to burn books- but that means 2 out of 10 are fucking Nazis.

If you drill into such thinking, 911 Trutherism was no surprise. As with "birtherism" or Covid19 "cures" more recently. Conspiracy preference of some people is always with us. Over my llifetime the trend went from extreme left (including paranormal causality beliefs like astrology) to the conventional thinking of the middle and extreme RW. It starts with the conclusion and then the facts are spun to reinforce it. The Alex Jones's and Tucker Carlsons put it into the echo machine. Paranoid people listen and groupthink a narrative to fit their political and psychological bents. Or in the case of broadcasters, their fat wallets. When presented with consensus logical high probability data, they will present their own "experts and facts." They are certain. They are zealots and as with religions, they have the correct God of Truth; and everyone else is a liar. I still find it amazing how many were sucked into the 9/11 truther movement, that our own Govt brought down the twin towers
