I was so excited to read von Daniken when I was 10. It explained so much! And then I found out that other adults who do actual science thought he was a loon at best, which only led to more questions:

Wait, people are allowed to lie about being scientists?People can still print books even without evidence?Or which contradicts evidence?Do any of these lessons learned apply to my Southern Baptist church?

So... I learned a lot from von Daniken.

I know, but a lot of white people won't do it.

So we have Floydgate now, or is it Floyderism?

I hate being right about how conspiracy theory is pretty much the requirement for public office for Trumpians now.

She does understand that, if she wins her race, Trump may invite her to the White House because she's got an R after her name, but he will expect her to do windows.

That can’t be her real last name, given her propensity for fakery.

I am much stupider for having read about this woman and her theories. This is why we can't have nice things.

I for one hope these kookoo splinter groups all grab a different one of those crazy planks and commence to whomping the crap out of each other.

I saw that too but I attributed it to the Missouri nutcase.

Actually the Republican platform is hilarious, because they just decided to dust off the old one and use it - retaining the language criticizing the "current inhabitant of the White House."

Counter-theory: This person is not real, nor is her opponent. It's all a scam by Big Something. I submit that no two adult humans are named "Dr. Winnie Heartstrong" and "William Lacy Clay". Why, that second person's third name is an anagram of his second name! How lazy could they get!
