Tragedy in small Michigan town once again demonstrates how lethal conspiracy theories can be ~ Have you read this story? It's outrageous! As many hot discussions as I have had with family and friends over politics, nobody ever thought the matter would be settled and an agreement would be reached by brandishing a weapon. ????? Who are these QAnon people? Are they brainwashing people or addicting them to psychotic drugs or something? Is this only happening in America? This article has over 200 comments. If you think the content of the article describes what a "rabbit hole" looks like, you should read some of the comments.
For decades, people have thought of conspiracy theories as harmless amusements. But the past six years have demonstrated their extraordinary toxicity: They are incredibly dangerous to democracy, primarily because they destroy the shared reality...

Life is like that. If it's not one thing its something else entirely.

What is disappointing is that facts and evidence mean nothing to so many of these conspiracy theorists. The rabbit holes run far too deep!

Such a horrible thing to happen to this family. Thoughts are with the family at this time.
