    I keep thinking about how the pandemic is eventually going to be over, and wondering what's going to happen to the people who've so completely embraced rank pseudoscience to oppose government restrictions during COVID-19

        My guess: absolutely nothing. There are very few negative consequences from saying absolute bullshit

        Why would you expect anything to happen to them? I don't understand. Surely, if anything were to happen, it would have by now.

        Large paycheques buy comfy beds in spacious rooms: quite well, I am sure.

        Sadly both the mendacity and grift will continue.

        The constantly evolving conspiracies will continue and hence provide a significant income for the ‘influencers’. They all back each other up, quote each other. Over time new alliances form (eg NW & Tucker, Bannon), and smaller players try to get a slice (eg an ‘Oceania’ person)
