New NYT profile of MTG

I apologize for posting this from my mobile, so I don’t have the first few paragraphs, but I have to say that I am not becoming a fan of hers, though I think it’s commendable that she’s eased up on some of the craziness that she exhibited when she first became a public figure. I keep hoping there’s more to come, but I’m not hopeful. Still, when someone with her beliefs, realizes that her views needed to be changed, it should make us more confident that our views are more normal than theirs. This is a gift link.

1. The magas just love believing in conspiracy theories, and won't let go of them

They based many decisions on phony information from a conspiracy theory

2. They crave to be seen as possessing special knowledge

that the rest of us cannot see or grasp. It fulfills a wish to be admired.

3. Yep, that's it. It's a shame to be your whole life on such phony and false stories.
