    It’s weird to me that the moon landing is part of this. I would expect the unconditional jingoism of the GOP would be strong enough that, even if it were obviously fake, they would insist that it was real. Or is it because it was done by nerds and Democrats and not “real Americans” so it doesn’t count?

      I’ve run into a lot of chuds post-2020 who are going “every conspiracy is true, just give it enough time.” I’m not even sure they understand the implications of such a thing, they just have decided “coastal elites” believe the moon landing is real, therefore they believe its fake. Real contrarian hours who up

      I dunno. Maybe there’s some underground conspiracy theory that proclaims NASA is woke and the devil. “Underground” in the sense that the theory hasn’t gone mainstream. Yet?

      He doesn’t even say it was fake, but that it “may have been faked” which is like, obviously true unless you have a God’s-eye view of history

        lol true. ur comment got me curious and i looked at the article. this is their only source for the moon landing shit

        this is even less skeptical than if he said it “may have been fake”. western media is such a joke, they cant even dunk on conservatives right. he said ONE thing abt it 6 years ago and they thought it warranted inclusion in the subhead

    GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson says that Beyoncé is “satanic,” that the 1969 moon landing may have been fake

    Okay that’s a little silly, I don’t…

    and that there’s a ruling class of secretive reptiles.

    Let’s just hear him out
