The real biggest problem with conspiracy theories in general is that not only are they bullshit, but even if they were true knowing the truth would not meaningfully impact your life. We already know the world is largely run by uncaring sociopath criminals, is it somehow worse if they are doing cartoonishly evil fake Satanist poo poo at the same time? Or if they're lizard people or what the gently caress ever?

Replace "lizard people" with "Jews" and it becomes clear that the existence of the conspiracy theory can very much negatively impact the targets, even if it doesn't change the believer's life much.

This led to CNN's Chris Cuomo saying Harris must address these allegations.

Cuomo has his problems - :decorum:, both-siderism, rather... optimistic regarding the intentions of a lot of Congresspeople, and he's way too willing to interview people that are just going to lie and bullshit in the name of 'hearing the other side' which IMO becomes invalid when there is a constant refusal to concede even basic facts (his interviews with Kellyanne Conway and Giuliani are migraine inducing). But I've seen him discuss stuff like this before.

He thinks Obama's refusal to address the birth certificate stuff immediately, strongly, and loudly was a strategic error because it let the idea fester and morph and get ingrained into people's brains and he should have killed it quickly. I don't think it would have made a whit of difference, but his idea is that, if Obama had produced the birth certificate in 2008 the issue would never have become part of Obama's aura on the right, forgery accusations, etc.

I'm 99% sure he thinks she needs to address it now to avoid going through that again, and that's the extent of it to him.

I think the thought process is inherently flawed given that the people we're talking about think there's a global cabal torturing kids to get a high from drinking their blood and once the idea is out there it's never going to go away plus it's a dogwhistley way to say she's not white and there's nothing that will kill it if it gains traction.

It's like all the news agencies that continue to provide platforms to chuds and broadcast Trump's propaganda because they're afraid of being called biased by Trump if they don't play his game.

Guys, he's gonna do that anyway. Any kind of news that isn't slobbering over him is going to get called fake. It's not like you're somehow winning one over crazy right-wing people when you play a game by their rules. They'll just change the rules and declare that they retroactively won.

As we've seen over and over in this thread, these types of people don't give a poo poo about facts, there is no evidence one could present to convince them that Obama/Harris were US born American citizens, or whatever their conspiracy theory is, is wrong. These aren't ideas worthy of debate or persuasion, and people need to stop trying.
