I’m starting to think these conspiracy theorists aren’t quite as clairvoyant as they say they are.
I think it was Will Summers who stated that, "Qanon begins with a hospital bill you can't ever pay."
We can mock them for their stupidity, but when stupid people are facing trauma like bankruptcy or divorce, or a child's death, etc., conspiracy theory communities are the easiest to find. They're on the radio, the television, the Facebook and the YouTube.
Its even a wise decision for a stupid person to join a community willing to accept their reality over the ones who both point out their stupidity, even if we are the path most likely to actually help them solve their traumas.
I'm wondering if this is a measurable case (in actual dollars) of the backfire effect:

In other words, these people have learned that their golden emperor-king is, in fact, a felon. This is then filtered through their extreme biases and then out pops: "I must help fund him".
Seems reasonable to me, actually, but it sort of brings a sense of doom to think we (humanity) or eve just they (magas) are that far gone.
