nwhikerPeople on twitter are talking about how Biden should hire cult deprogramming experts, to develop a mass media campaign to attempt to rescue the Qrazies.
I'm not an expert in, well, anything, but I do have some thoughts... I mean... of course I do!
1. The thought of government run thought control experiment is frightening. I'm not sure I like that idea.
2. Cult deprogramming is iffy at best.
3. We not longer have a hook. At this point, our versions of reality are so different, I cannot think of a single area in which those of us in the reality based community could agree with the Qdiots. We always knew evolution and climate change and vaccination were going to be an issue, but we're at the point where we cannot even agree on the basic science of epidemics and public health, etc. We share nothing. I'm not sure, under those circumstances, what could be used to re-ground them in reality.
