    • do you conspiracy nutters ever have a moment of self clarity where you realize you're behaving exactly like the qanon people before the 2020 election? Just curious. Honestly it kinda pisses me off because we are supposed to be the smart rational ones still grounded in reality. That is the only way to fight against people like Trump, Putin etc…
