conspiracy theories.

Your theory about why the Atlanta shootings happened sounds like the most logical reason.

Today I found out that a young girl I know, although she is NOT a 45 supporter, believes that COVID 19 is a hoax and refuses to wear a mask. She was unable to attend her beloved grandmother's funeral because she refused to wear one.

My boss believes firmly that the election was stolen from 45 because Biden's (nonexistent) rallies didn't have as many people as 45's did.

A good friend who we've discussed before belongs to Q-Anon and routinely copies Mike Flynn, the FBI, CIA and DOJ on her completely nonsensical tweets. She believes she speaks to them in code.

I can't understand why otherwise reasonable people go off the deep end like this.
