      Doing your own research doesn’t mean you’re good at it. Usually the other way around, you get tricked by yourself or others into believing things that feel right.

      That’s if you’re honestly trying to figure things out. The less honest version is when a person is trying to justify what they want their truth to be, and will use anything that seems to validate it.

    Well… I never thought this was remotely possible. Do they think if no one tells them a hurricane is coming that it won’t reach them?

      More that that the conspiracy theory crowd is lying to them that the meteorologists are controlling the weather.
