There's always going to be a fringe that spouts nonsense and I'm not sure there's really much we can do about it. Countering them on social media is pretty much pointless, because it's a constant stream and most people either don't see it or don't care. The ones who do were always hopeless, like the idiots who were pushing the doctored "dementia" video plugged by the Trump team.

At this point, the best approach might be to ignore the obvious trolls and deal with more pertinent issues. What they want is attention more than anything, and starving them of same might be the best way to deal with them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
