Dorian Gray

5. There is zero proof that this is true

a gut feeling about something doesn't make it true.

I've often asked myself how so many people believe in "the Big lie," let alone Q anon bullshit.

But a thread like this shows how it can happen. You take something that has an emotional element and fufills confirmation bias... and voila.

If there is actual proof or testimony of something like this happening, please share it. Otherwise it's conjecture, confabulation and conspiracy...
