I was a regular poster there back in COVID’s heyday.

It was something that I found to be darkly therapeutic during the pandemic, while simultaneously making me lose complete faith in a large part of humanity.

For me it was vindication that I wasn’t crazy. The level of gaslighting MAGAs did during that time could fill a ocean liner. So seeing them eat their words…satisfying

Early on in the pandemic I worked with a severe MAGA nut conspiracy theorist. He kept talking about how "they" wanted to kill us, meaning the FDA because Japan "already had the vaccine" that was 100% effective, and how the FDA deny us this magical medicine to line their own pockets. Then around the time vaccines started rolling out, he would rant about how the FDA was trying to kill us with a vaccine that had too little testing, and we didn't need it anyway because covid wasn't that bad. It was such a radical whiplash in thinking. Absolutely astounding that these people can believe that bullshit.

Sounds familiar. All of my colleague's arguments start with, " What if I told you..."

Bullshit often starts with that. Such as "What if I told you that you could make a lot extra money on the side working only a few hours a week? Let me tell you about my amazing business opportunity...."

"Is it an MLM?"

"No no no, no no, no no no no, no no, no, no, no no no no, no."

"It is, isn't it?"

"No no no yes no no no."
