I agree that the lies about election fraud and whatnot are dangerous, but I fail to see how that's uniquely American. Conspiracy theories exist all over the place, and predate anyone alive today. I will agree that the acceptance of conspiratorial thinking in conservative circles is especially harmful (I wrote more detail about that in a sister thread), but you don't have to look very far in European history to find them electing demagogues too.
