>>12542057I go on /pol/ everyday. Let me break it down for you:
Dec2019-Feb2020 (WuHan rumors, Chinese virus, footage spreads of China people intentionally contaminating Walmart)
March2020, Trump poisons the argument by calling it a overblown flu that will need to be all but ignored but we'll cut off international/Chinese travel. /pol/ starts following this line of thinking.
April2020, /pol/ has arguments about if COVID is actually very bad but some think its a bioweapon/not bad some think its plain not bad because we find out Death Rate = <1%.
May-Oct2020 /pol pivots into the conspiracy theories into the Wuhan Bioweapon BUT basically admits COVID is real and dangerous but that its not bad enough to shut down economy, small businesses, Don'T Let China Win
Also /pol/ Mask Denies, saying masks don't really do anything and Texas Proves We Don't Need Change
November-Now Vaccine denial, not needed
Everyone always says /pol/ is for freaks but honestly, they have been driving the mainstream right wing thoughts IMHO the entire time and represents half the people at least.
