David Cole: Sub-Par Righty Thinkers Implode in Coinci-Densit; or: Enough About the Titan Submersible Already

I quit Twitter, so I didn't know about this. But Cole is right about these kinds of conspiracy theories running rampant on the right. In this case: news of the implosion of the Titan submersible, on its way to the Titanic, was suppressed until IRS testimony on Hunter Biden's business shenanigans. Why? Er...apparently to distract from the testimony or whatever. 

   On some righty sites, that the election was STOLED!!! is basically an axiom. Creepy.

   It's easy to overlook that stuff given that the massive web of crazy left fairy tales and conspiracies has so taken over public discourse. Seems kinda silly to worry about a few conservitards in the depths of the fever swamps chanting "MAGA" at each other... As I say repeatedly: I generally don't hold a movement's lunatic fringe against it, because every faction has one. It's when that fringe becomes the faction's mainstream that I sit up and take notice. But anyway. Whatever its importance, this sub thing prompted me to point and laugh.
