Seriously, Peter - don't waste your time. Just yesterday - I was invited along by a friend to join some of his co-workers for a trivia night at a local bar. I didn't know anything about his two co-workers prior - one is actually his boss (so it's probably best I kept my mouth shut). Anyway - prior to finally realizing these two jabronis were maga - the one (boss) turned to me and said "I'm not a conspiracy minded person but I was told today that Biden is dead - something about the way recent videos of him talking don't match up with his mouth moving". I said "what? - if he was it would be the only thing on the TVs around us". He said 'they' were keeping it a secret and that's why Kamala Harris is now running for President. Now - this is a seemingly normal adult person who has responsibilities and a job working with other people and a family with kids telling someone he's just met this wild ass thing. I'm not on facebook - but this is what I imagine it's like now. There's no critical thinking. No curiosity. Just a willingness to believe a narrative they want to believe. And then openly share it.
I could have gone further with the discussion - but left it at "it's probably not true"
Save your sanity. And find a place with better coffee than Panera!
