How Much Time & Energy Is Wasted At DU Pushing Conspiracy Theories? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by HappyMe (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Seriously. The election's over. We WON! The forces of evil didn't prevail. The election WASN'T stolen pre-election as some had posted. Ohio wasn't stolen as were assured would be the case.

How about we take this week off from the election CTs and concentrate on the ridiculous, scientifically ignorant JFK CTs instead?

I swear, the Rs must get a kick out of the CT rants that pop up on DU.
