I get that for existing far right adherents, like cults, the point is the unquestioning loyalty to the leader in pretending you believe the clearly unbelievable

How long can far right assertions that major cities are apocalyptic wastelands with women in burkas and insurgent street battles hold?

The far right complained that the BBC a) edited a documentary to make it look like Trump instigated January 6th riots, and b) didn't do a similar piece on Kamala Harris
