19. I admit, I used to troll them

Had a username on one of their sites and would post clearly inaccurate things mocking them that they'd eat up.

One time in a Pizzagate thread I posted that, "FBI statistics show 12 million American children are abducted and sold into slavery every month. Are we just going to wait until it's our own child?" Got like 15 posts agreeing with me and offering supporting evidence until finally a poster said, "Hey, 12 million a month? Wouldn't that mean the entire US child population is enslaved in like 6 months? Do you have a link to support your claim?"

They really are that stupid. I'd like to give some the benefit of the doubt, but that's really hard to do, there's just no critical thinking skills at work with them, it's ignorance that is dangerous.

What I find completely insane is the Nazi propaganda normal Republicans regularly fall for. And the Q Anon stuff has a lot of its roots in Nazi propaganda. The globalist bankers they blame everything on is straight out of the Nazi playbook, globalist bankers mean Jews. America First was a slogan for Nazi sympathizers in the US. Make Germany Great Again was an actual slogan Hitler used. There is very clearly a Neo Nazi slant to all of this. But it's a cult, and revealing any of this to the cult members just makes them more invested in defending their cult.
