Exactly. We’re like the wellspring of information. I would pick up a story lead on here, talk about it with my friends or family, and they’d be like “that’s a load of conspiracy bs” and dismiss what I say, but then 3 days later Faux picks it up with their twist, and I’m like “see, this is what I mean”, and then I’d have to deconstruct Faux’s lies to reexplain the situation. They’d ask how I knew, and I say I’m in a bunch of forums that discuss shit as it happens. They’re too ignorant, sadly, to properly wield the information sword that is Dotwin, and one look at this site and they’d probably dismiss it outright as deboooonked conspiracy mumble

Same here. I tried explaining Trumps path to victory to my parents a week after the election and it went right over their heads.
