This pretty much sums it up
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I am. I’m stupid enough to believe that someone made an amusing video pointing out how moronic the claims of widespread election fraud are.
Stupid, stupid me.

Thing is my cousins wouldn't think it's anything but a documentary. The "Lost Cause" is born again.

COVID Conspiracy Theorists Repeatedly Entering Utah Hospital Over False Claims, Officials Warn
Conspiracy theorists are trying to gain access to a hospital in Utah over unfounded rumors that their intensive care units are not at near-capacity as a result of COVID-19.
Utah Valley Hospital administrator Kyle Hansen said people have been sharing videos online of empty waiting rooms as proof that hospitals are not overwhelmed with COVID patients.
"I've never seen such distrust of the scientific community and the healthcare experts who are trying to be visible and trying to be a voice for what is happening and what's going on," Hansen said.
"The politics have gotten involved in this, unfortunately, where really they should not have and that's made the misinformation part that much more difficult."
"Although these situations are few and isolated, stopping attempts to gain inappropriate access and responding to fake conspiracy theories diverts attention from providing lifesaving care provided at the hospitals.

"Constantly wrong" is a new documentary/ YouTube video that takes a look at conspiracy theories: trying to explain what they are, why they exist, how to deal with people who believe in them, and similar

CTers don't want evidence, reason, logic, facts, etc. They just want to know that they're right and you're wrong.

Wow, that was a very good documentary. I especially liked the way he ended it by saying that believers in CT are sick in some way and that trying to force them to the truth will likely only make the go further down the rabbit hole. This has been my experience, as I have made that mistake. People can get extremely defensive about the tiniest thing if you go at them hard. Asking them to explain something that doesn't make sense can sometimes pull them out of it, but there's no guarantee of that.
Saying all of that, I am just dumbfounded by the sheer volume of people in the US who have swallowed Trump's lies. To me it seems like anyone who is even mildly sentient can see right through him. He is the most classic case of a serial liar that I've ever seen. Sometimes I wonder if he says anything of truth in a given day at all. Even if he says he's going to get a drink of water, I think maybe he lies and just goes to FOX News instead.
Why is it so?

The Biden Presidency Already Has Its First Conspiracy Theory: The Great Reset
Joe Biden isn’t president yet. But his incoming White House already has its first conspiracy theory to deal with.
It goes by the tag the “Great Reset” and under its construct a wild dystopian future is in store. The coronavirus pandemic is merely a means to enslave humanity and end capitalism. Biden’s “Build Back Better” slogan is really a cover for nefarious plotting of a global cabal from Davos, Switzerland, intent on abolishing private property and building prison camps for the dissenters who refuse to accept microchips that will read their thoughts. Even Grover from Sesame Street might be involved.
It’s been fed by right-wing media personalities who have told their audiences that Biden is bent on launching said reset by using the coronavirus pandemic to ban religion, crush small businesses, and turn humans into something like robots—or replace them with actual robots.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has declared that the Great Reset is “up in your grill,” while talk radio host Glenn Beck said the Great Reset is a plot to institute Nazi-style restrictions on American citizens. WorldNetDaily has called it a scheme from our “globalist overlords.” Pro-Trump personalities “Diamond and Silk” have warned their audience on Newsmax TV that Biden is behind the Great Reset plot.
Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have also promoted the idea that Biden is a key player in a nefarious movement dubbed the Great Reset.
“His handlers, who are basically all old Obama staffers, believe in something called the Great Reset of capitalism,” Ingraham said in a November episode of her show. “It’s a plan to force a more equitable distribution of global resources.”
Despite the apocalyptic predictions of pro-Trump media figures, though, the supposed Great Reset’s actual origins are much more mundane.
In May, the World Economic Forum—a non-governmental group that hosts the annual Davos conference—announced a series of events and articles called the Great Reset centered on the idea of reducing inequality in the aftermath of the pandemic.
