The wingnuts love lunatic conspiracy theories, but

they refuse to believe the real conspiracies happening in front of them.

Trump did collude with the Russians.
Russia did interfere with the election.
Trump did extort a foreign leader.
And the list goes on for real conspiracies that surround Trump.

But they ignore these and accept the crazy ones for which there is no evidence.

Responding to them, even with simple facts, only gives these nuts some kind of legitimacy. Leave FB. Don't feed the trolls.

he said that people are stocking up on ammunition. I said " to shoot other Americans?" He said yes. I told him that Russia won't even have to lift a finger - Americans are taking care of it for them. Just stupid.

Hybrid Warfare. Non-Linear Warfare, whatever you want to call it.

Then spend a few million on troll farms and hackers and infiltrate social media and instigate violence and hatred.

They did have to lift a finger though...typing takes fingers.
