re: #67 Dangerman

Sorry. I just grabbed a graf out of the article that said something to me. Conspiracy Theories now are just stated in Social Media, and the “brethren” pick it up and re-post it, over and over and over. The whole article is, of course, very long, and more nuanced. But that point seemed to hit home with me. Someone says, Obama isn’t an American, someone else boosts it to he wasn’t born here, and then it starts spinning off into one thing after another. He was born in Kenya. His college records are faked. The woman in charge of birth certificates in Hawaii was murdered. On and on. Just stated. And taken as “Alternative Fact”.
