I always thought pizzagate was a made up Qanon fantasy accusing Democrats of running a pedophile ring. Conspiracy theories always have a kernel of truth. We have known for 8+ years that every accusation is a confession: It’s not Democrats who are the pedophiles. The kernel of truth is Trump himself.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people.

Identify those people and block and shun them.

Just wondering if it would be a good idea to question your primary doctor whether they support vaccinations and standard medical practice, or whether they think vaccines are dangerous and home and herbal remedies are better. If the former, asking what they think of RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz. I’m going to.
