“The [QAnon] internet conspiracy theory’s spread shows that the Trump-era GOP has weakened antibodies against kookery.” https://politico.com/news/magazine/2020/08/12/qanon-rot-gop-394466

1. To paraphrase a quote attributed to H.L. Mencken, "No one ever went broke underestimating

the intelligence of the American public.”

But that's not a direct quote. The actual quote is:

“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

So we shouldn't be surprised at Qanon or other kookery, it's all part of The Whole.

2. Lowry has certainly leveled a huge amount of bullshit and conspiratorial nonsense in his day.

So it is something if he thinks QAnon people are kooks.
