I’ve run into college students who have no idea of how to discern that a source is bullshit - especially if the site or source looks well-polished and sounds like it knows what it’s talking about. Even a lot of Q people have figured out that the best way to draw people in is to look and sound professional, not just ranting into a camera in your truck cabin - you need a nice backdrop, and probably a polo shirt at minimum.

Right!?
When Republicans were initially investingating the 2020 election in Georgia, they called in a “forensic imaging specialist” who said that they would be able to determine which ballots were fabricated. I got a lot of flack for questions the guy’s credentials online, but literally his biggest accomplishment in life was inventing a crappy barcode scanner shaped like a cat, and it was a huge flop.
r/conservative was adamant that this dunce was going to overturn the election in Georgia…
