Lack of self awareness is a problem in our politics, that’s true.
Point here may be a little different. Only one side of our political spectrum has now been overrun by conspiracy theory obsession, and since at least pizzagate, pedophilia fantasies are at the core of it. Science fiction level fantasies about blood sucking public figures from politicians to movie actors.
Scandalous and predatory behavior is nothing new in politics, that’s true. This level of obsession with strange conspiracy theories in a major political party - that’s extremely new, and extremely damaging. If you can get a sizable part of your base to believe Tom Hanks rapes kids and sucks baby blood for dinner, how hard is it to get the rest of the base to believe in election fraud fantasies just by repeating them over and over again?
