There's never gonna be an equivalence here. AltNPS has far fewer gun nuts with hero complexes and wannabe military cosplayers, if any, who follow them. Who's our lefty populist president going to be? Gavin Newsom? I promise (as a CAian) that is not the same level of danger.
so here’s the thing: conspiracy theories lead to right wing extremism. Believing in just one conspiracy theory makes you much more likely to believe others. It’s why so much of the seemingly lefty conspiracies around “wellness culture” led a bunch of ppl to q-anon
i never said this will lead to a left wing demagogue as president. I said pizzagate started with this kind of conspiracy-minded shit. Spreading lefty conspiracies doesnt lead to a lefty conspiracy ecosystem— it pushes the ppl you fooled into the right wing conspiracy ecosystem that already exists
