    striking how wildly the MAGA narrative swings are: one day it’s all a hoax, the next it’s a chinese sneak attack, the deaths won’t go exponential, there’s a miracle drug to save lives, we need to let millions die to save the economy, deaths are overcounted, there’s herd immunity https://twitter.com/IngrahamAngle/status/1248672898472194052 …

        Her worst argument was her 7 friends of a friend anecdote story on hydroxychloroquine. Reminds me of a Supertramp song, "I heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another..."https://twitter.com/IngrahamAngle/status/1248669821786624001?s=20 …

        An old pal in Los Angeles (no Trump fan) just texted me that seven friends of hers (here and in Sweden) ALL took hydroxychloroquine, all recovered quickly, zero side effects. Called it a “godsend.”

        Replying to @gorskon @AlexandraErin

        Nope. They only need to resonate emotionally. As long as they're consistent with the speaker's feelings—"I hate liberals," "journalism is the enemy," "immigrants are subhuman"—they might notice the switch from one narrative to another, but I don't think they'll care.

        Replying to @OrionKidder @gorskon @AlexandraErin

        And to be clear, WE ARE ALL LIKE THIS. It's a human problem, not *precisely* a right-wing problem. Some of use just work harder at resisting that urge, largely because of socialization: what group we're trying to retain membership in.

        Like their leader, not rational humans so much as loose arrangements of urges and resentments.

        Their inconsistency is perhaps their greatest staying power.

        If the draw of your conspiracy has no internal consistency then no degree of logic can dislodge it.
