I'm starting to wonder if these sort of things should just be ignored. How much of this madness is directly attributable to social media?
Loons and trolls start a twitter thread, the media picks up on it, an "expert" defends it, and politicians (eager to out crazy each other) incorporate it into their buffoonery as if it was somehow reflective of common opinion/sentiment.
I know they're out there, but I don't know a single person who doesn't roll their eyes at L/W loons... much less one who actually agrees with them.
