I've been thinking about this lately. How do all the "new world order! Mask mandates are tyranny and will never go away! You will need to show your vaxx papers to a gazpacho office to leave your house!!!!!" Reconcile that with the reality that all that never happened?

Do they think they won? Do they just ignore it? Do they think there's some big convoluted conspiracy reason why they didn't do it?

They just keep moving the goal posts. "The vaccines will get us eventually". Also, everyone who dies its because they got vaccinated, as if nobody died before and as if the vaccines were supposed to make us immortal.

Anyone that would blindly believe the stuff like that lack the critical thought required to question their beliefs when it doesn't happen. They just seem to move to the next thing being pushed by people like Alex Jones or Fox News.

Mostly just ignore it, and claim every death of any vaccinated person is because of the vaccine and then just repeat gish galloping through the usual talking points, in my experience. Beliefs that are not grounded in reality can not really be changed by reality not matching up with them, I guess.

Part of the problem with morons is that they don't think much of anything. They lack critical reasoning skills and their opinions on most things are based on horseshit rather than logic.

Simple, they stopped it because they spread the message and thwarted the plan.

They are heroes who keep the truth out there!

Do they think they won?

Yes, they really do think they won. They think the government caved in to pressure and that COVID "went away" like they said it would.

Of course, none of that lines up with reality, but they won't admit that they were ever wrong at any point.
