I don’t understand how so many people would VOTE for someone who reliable falls for and promotes so very many obvious conspiracies.
They don't think it's conspiracies though, my brother has recently fallen down this hole and he's fully convinced that all the papers are complete lies, TV news is just fiction, and he knows what's really going on. In this world millions of kids are being sold to hollywood sex rings and Biden is covering it up, and they're terrified that their kids will be next. They believe everything he says.
That's a really simplistic take. He's an intelligent man but he's fallen into an echo chamber of nonsense, it's easy to say that only dumb as shit people are radicalised but just look around, that's bullshit.
