everyone that questions the election that like it or not has an implausible amount of mathematical improbabilities, let's just start there, is now a "conspiracy theorist"

Sounds like a theory in which you alleged a conspiracy occurred.

Henceforth you are herby...CANCELED!

It's not the new racist. It's just same old garden variety dumb asses. Conspiracy guys have been doing their thing for decades. There will always be a new another one for them to latch onto. When their space ship doesn't emerge from behind the comet. Or when the government isn't overthrown by a time traveling real estate developer.

So you're saying anyone who questions the validity of the election is a conspiracy theorist?

No. I'm saying that Q followers are conspiracy theorists.

At this point, yes. If you say that 10k dead people voted or that Dominion machines switched votes or that foreign governments switched votes, yes.

At this point, if you think 99,988 Georgians cast Biden-only ballots in a state with two hotly contested US Senate elections, you're an imbecile.

I remember 3-4 years ago when people talking about the illegal spy/smear operation on Trump were called “conspiracy theorists”. You were probably one of the ones calling them that.

Definition of conspiracy theory.

quote:

a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event.


What does this have to do with racism?

quote:

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.


I understand that neither one of these accusations should be given lightly. And I find that one of the things hurting political discourse is that words are being planted by either side that inaccurately describes something.

For example, saying someone didn't achieve something due to bad grades or poor performance isn't racist. The question everyone needs to ask is this: is the result objectively valid given the current evidence AND was the process of reaching said result done in an equally objective way.

I can elaborate further if you wish.

I know exactly who you are referring to regarding conspiracy theories (MTG). QAnon is a conspiracy theory by definition.

They did. How much influence is debatable and no one claimed they switched a single vote.

Critical Race Theory is a conspiracy theory in my view.

At this point if you still believe that that is a fact, then you are dumber than a rock (and a conspiracy theorist).

There’s a point he’s making, but it was apparently well over your head.

There’s probably more conspiracy theorists than actual racists or white supremacists, though.

The libertarian candidate accounts for over half this total, and the remaining 45-48k gap or so is much less than the 150k-200k gap seen between a party’s presidential and senate candidate in Georgia in both 2000 and 2008.
