Since tomorrow is Christmas I thought I would post this in case you have any MAGA relatives who will be over.
minus-squareCorporal_Punishment@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up44arrow-down1·1 day agoMy brother (UK so not MAGA thank fuck) is a conspiracy theorist. I just ask him “why”. “Why do you believe the moon landing is fake?” “Because the flag is flapping”. “Why would they build a soundstage with a breeze and not retake the footage”? “What do you think chemtrails are?” “They are the government trying to poison us”. “Why wouldn’t they just put stuff in the water supply”? And so on. It’s hard for someone to believe simultaneously in supreme government control when you continuously point out how incompetent they are.
