Just thinking... The poll numbers show that it’s a real phenomenon. There’s a lot of drivel about the shadowy forces of “BlueAnon”, but this isn’t a movement. It’s just what happens when you get your reality from social media. It’s also what happens when a society no longer has any concept of objective truth and people just pick whatever truth fits their preconceptions. It is said that one in three is just an early assessment of where people get their facts from which translates into their truth. Now that there’s a whole infrastructure of grafter’s aka, con artists ‘analyzing videos frame by frame’, doing ""substacks" and podcasts on it, then followed by books describing it as the new Reichstag fire, expect those numbers to climb even higher. The media destroyed its credibility through relentless partisan bias not just for conservatives, but also for much of the public. A culture of lying set in along with online conspiracy grifters and nuts who make mega bucks from social media. But while it’s easy to take shots at “Ear Truthers”, is this any more bizarre than Democrats and the media insisting for years that Vladimir Putin engineered, better stated, rigged the 2016 election with Facebook ads and controlled Trump through videos of pee peeing prostitutes? It’s certainly no crazier and perhaps actually less crazy. If you believe, as Democrats claim to, that Vladimir is running Trump through a series of conspiracies, this makes perfect sense. It’s the media that chooses to draw the line at one insane conspiracy, but not another, which is being inconsistent and par for the course.
