I think you guys are counting on natural selection to do a lot work than it is capable of. How many illegitimate children to you guess Alex Jones has!!!???? I’d guess more than all the discussants on this thread put together.

If they're influencing their children along those lines this is, as we have discussed, natural selection at work. I wonder if the effect on future elections will be measurable. --- Frank C.

This is clearly true in the right’s fever swamps. Alex Jones of Infowars has built a following by pushing conspiracy theories, but he makes money by selling nutritional supplements <https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/05/how-does-alex-jones-make-money.html> . It’s also true, however, for more mainstream, establishment parts of the right. For example, Ben Shapiro, considered an intellectual on the right, hawks supplements.Look at who advertises <https://tvrev.com/whos-still-advertising-with-tucker-carlson-at-the-end-of-q2-2021/> on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show. After Fox itself, the top advertisers are My Pillow, then three supplement companies.Snake oil peddlers, clearly, find consumers of right-wing news and punditry a valuable market for their wares. So it shouldn’t be surprising to find many right-leaning Americans ready to see vaccination as a liberal plot and turn to dubious alternatives — although, again, I didn’t see livestock dewormer coming. - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
