    We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.

    A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.

    I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.
