Is it just me, or does it seem like the crazy level or better yet — the acceptance of the crazy — went up about 1000 notches after Obama got elected?

I’d say it’s the exposure level of the crazy, followed distantly by the acceptance level.

I was briefly a part of greater wingnuttia for a time during Clinton’s first term. The insanity was about the same, and the conspiracy theories nearly identical to the crap going around now. The difference is, back then you had to know people, trade videos or literature. Today, the internet amplifies these connections and reaches a broader audience.
