@scheichsbeutel@troet.cafe @space_cadet@aus.social I am a middle-aged woman and I can confirm that those people are everywhere.
A couple weeks ago I encountered a man who believes space is not real, that we live under a dome and God projects lights upon it so that’s why we see stars and the sun and the moon and stuff.
This man was a New Hampshire state representative who ran for sheriffs office even though he had recently been released from prison for making pipe bombs.
It’s a hot mess up here in this tiny corner of the USA

@maggiejk@zeroes.ca @space_cadet@aus.social Here in Europe, we sometimes look down on the U.S. and its citizens with a touch of arrogance. And it’s hard to understand when people like M. Mullin become ministers (he claims to have experienced teleportation). People like that shouldn’t hold public office; they should seek treatment. But since the pandemic, a similar process has been taking place here - complete nonsense is becoming socially acceptable. Trump embodies all of that along with extr. self-centeredness.
