Gets Trump to help them push their total nonsense pet theory on science or medicine that might even be a literal conspiracy theory. At this point MSNBC makes fun of the nonsense.
After enough "questions" have arisen - the GOP sticks funding for a study on X in a big bill that the dems say "has to pass". Both sides-ing begins. The dems end up looking like they too want the study done no matter how much they say they don't.
The study might debunk the fucking nonsense. But that doesn't matter at all. Whatever the study actually says - the turd insists they were right all along. Other turds in Trump world agree.
Right-wing media pushes the fucking nonsense because Trump likes it.
The totality of the media actually debates the fucking nonsense. At this point MSNBC has on experts to debate the fucking nonsense.
The nonsense has been mainstreamed.
The public is confused. Is fluoride good in the water? Or does it make kids dumb? Maybe we shouldn't put it in the water!

Repeat for the next total nonsense pet theory. Trump might get in on the action for his own bullshit ideas.

This feels disturbingly prescient. I hate it. Well done.

My post-election mistake was to assume this normalization process would be patchy and it would start many months after Trump's election. I can't believe the process is going to be major, super-speedy, and it's already happening. Everything is the Onion now. Satire and reality can't be differentiated. Another Hexbear post of mine from today is from WaPo - [Not the Onion] The looming Eurasian menace.
