That's a powerful little article, BirdMan! How many of us know someone who fits this definition? Scary, isn't it?

I'm sure that we all know more than one someone who fits into this picture.

People on the losing side of our current political situation are all full of conspiracy theories. This is because they have to explain their loss some way, so like the religious, they simply start making things up. In my area of Missouri they become an "expert" on something that has now changed because Trump lost, then they tell you all about it and end with "it is what it is." The strange thing is that it was a different story when they all thought Trump would win. Maybe political thoughts have mutated just like the virus.

They need to rationalize for themselves whatever happens.
