A similar thing happened to me when I was talking to my teen cousin's friend last year at thanks giving.

She said she wanted to "genetically engineer a virus that only targets old white men after she goes to college for biology" (can you guess her hair color?)

Anyway, I'm a nice guy and I try to hide my power level around my super deep blue family, but I let slip "Oh, china's already doing that"

A joke or two about conspiracy theories and orange man and we moved on to other topics.

And then 2 months later the propaganda from china starts rolling in, along with the 'rona. I wonder if she connected the dots. Lol
