Frankly, people should have just been savagely, viciously mocking these crazies from the moment their nonsense started to pick up an audience. As someone who studied biochem at the masters level, the things these people say are so far removed from any of the accepted science and so far down the rabbit hole of looney, sensationalist Hollywood nonsense that it genuinely puzzles me that more people didn’t simply bully these people for having such a tenuous grasp of reality. If I made claims half as outlandish as these people, I’d have been rightly made fun of and become a public laughing stock.
Boomer civility politics. People believe they have a “right” to be deranged idiots and that it’s some great virtue to treat these people seriously. Hopefully civility politics will die with the Boomers.
