My mom believes that Wikipedia is “influenced and censored.” She didn’t like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.

So no, Wikipedia doesn’t cure cultism.

In all seriousness, how does one listen to and communicate with people who have slid so far down a misinformation hole to a place where science is fake, every expert who disagrees is part of a global conspiracy, and the only people they listen to literally can’t stop lying?>

I still talk to and value my mother, and believe she is a good person, but she’s fallen prey to insidious propaganda and believes that Trump is just a flawed tool for God and the Republican platform is the only way to save the world from the forces of evil.

As an aside, my favorite conspiracy theory was how all the governments of the world were collaborating on the COVID lockdowns so they could control the people and take power. The governments capable of national lockdowns could take power. 🤦🏼‍♂️

They’ve already had more than 50 successful missions this year.

Testing doesn’t count as a failure, it counts as test data.

It’s pronounced Teatime, sir.

Yes, clearly Warren Buffet is the one in the wrong here. 🤔

No, politicians especially need to have enough awareness of the world around them to represent people that they are not.

People only understanding something once it happens to them personally is immature and closed-minded, and leads directly to where we are (in the US) with the highest bodies in the land being a bunch of puppets to money and influence.

It’s not the big, loud disinformation that’s the most worrying; at least that can be addressed head-on. It’s the subtle, divisive manipulation that’s been going on for years that has us disowning family and flirting with civil war.
