7. A good friend of mine bought into the Ron Paul the-world-is-going-to-end cult.

Bought the books and videos, paid ridiculous amounts of money for subscriptions to conspiracy sites, kept sending me Lew Rockwell links. Prepper, anarchist, hyper-anti-capitalist (yeah, there's irony there), the whole deal.

He eventually left the US and went to live in the mountains in Mexico off-the-grid. That lasted for a couple of months. He's back in the US flipping houses and working for a bank.

by hoaxes (they invented).

Q-Anut: Covid-19 is a Democratic hoax!

News: Trump has Covid-19.

Q-Anut: Covid-19 is a Democratic plot to kill Trump!

Trump is an idiot. He didn't take the virus seriously. He exposed himself, and he finally got it. End of story.

You know that game where you stand in front of a moving vehicle and then you jump out of the way at the last second? Trump was doing that with COVID, and well, let's just say he didn't get out of the way at the last minute.

Man they are using such overblown hyperbole and making themselves out to be "victims of the left's hatred" that it's hard to be even remotely sympathetic. And really you can't be sympathetic to the guy who called this virus a hoax and tried to downplay the fact that it's killed 215,000 people so far.
