You’ve managed to dodge the actual topic again and replace it with a strawman and a bit of theatrical victimhood. First, “we are now the majority” — based on what, exactly? Assertion isn’t evidence. And even if it were true (it isn’t), popularity has never been a measure of accuracy. By that logic, every widely held false belief in history suddenly becomes “true” because enough people bought into it. Second, “77 million people = majority” — no, it doesn’t. That’s not even a majority in the U.S., let alone globally. More importantly, I never said all Trump supporters are conspiracy theorists. That’s your exaggeration, not my argument — a classic case of arguing with something that was never said because it’s easier than addressing what was. Third, the “so what do we do with you?” line is pure deflection. This isn’t about rounding people up or declaring anyone “mentally ill” as a blanket label — it’s about understanding why certain patterns of thinking occur and why they persist despite evidence. You’ve taken a discussion about behaviour and turned it into a melodrama about persecution. And finally, “what’s the actionable remedy?” — if you read the original post properly, you’d notice it was explicitly framed as a discussion: “Why so many… and what to do about them?” That’s not a test with a preloaded answer — it’s the question itself. The fact that the thread has largely avoided answering it (and instead spiralled into people defending their favourite conspiracies) rather proves the point. If anything, this exchange is a textbook example of the issue: Replace the argument with a caricature Inflate numbers to sound authoritative Shift from ideas to identity (“us vs them”) Avoid the actual question That’s not a majority. That’s just a very loud loop.
